The Case for Quality Management
Securing Support from the Boardroom
Jan 14, 2020

Every regulated organization understands the need to implement a quality system. In fact, it’s a “shall” clause for all Life Science companies to ensure they are compliant with industry regulations. From there, as the organization matures, its people, processes and technology evolve from a compliance, to a correction, to a prevention mindset, eventually resulting in increased quality brand recognition and shareholder value.

Consider a scenario in which a manufacturer maximizes the capabilities of its quality system. If that company really “did it right the first time;” if every motion, thought, and investment — from the product development, through market approval, through manufacturing at all production sites, through supplier outputs, and along the value chain — was spent “right the first time” — the outcome would be “right.” Right for the consumer/patient and for the manufacturer.

In the real world, it is a struggle to realize this scenario without executive buy-in. It is incumbent on the Quality function to solicit and secure support from the boardroom. This Insight Brief examines an effective approach to building the case for a Quality Management System (QMS) by establishing enterprise-wide consensus, including executive leadership.

The diagram below depicts the stages of that journey.
