While a Quality Management System (QMS) is a necessary and foundational element of any life-science organization, it does not come without its own set of headaches and frustrations. If you were to survey people from your team, chances are they would have at least a handful of complaints or ways to improve your current QMS. Whether it is a CAPA process that is easily over-burdened, a complaint management system that is inefficient, or a change order process that is just a documentation blizzard, QMS’s are meant to be optimized for your organization, not drain its resources.

EMMA International’s proprietary methodology, CLIC™, ensures that we help you implement a QMS that is Compliant, Lean, Integrated, and Customizable. We optimize our CLIC QMS systems to fit your operation, ensuring your QMS not only complies with ISO, GxP, and all other applicable standards, but helps you develop safe, effective products. Our methodology has proven to be sustainable, easy to follow, scalable, and cost-efficient for our clients. CLIC can be tailored to your business needs, scaled to the size of your operation, and needs minimum resources to maintain ongoing compliance.

No matter if you are a start-up medical device firm, or a multi-national pharmaceutical manufacturer, having an optimized QMS is a must. I have seen nightmare scenarios of organizations with a QMS that does not fit their operations, which ends up being draining on both time and human resources.

The most common sub-systems that can quickly become out of control for an organization include CAPA, Complaint Management, Supplier Management, and Change Control. It is important to follow the Goldilocks principle when it comes to quality systems processes; not too much and not too little. You do not want a process that is more complicated than you need putting strain on your resources, and you don’t want a process that is not robust enough causing you to be out of compliance. With our CLIC methodology, we can implement a QMS that is truly “just right” for your organization.

Whether you need a QMS built completely from scratch, or just need an expert set of eyes to assess areas for improvement, EMMA International can help! Our quality systems experts are available 24/7 to support whatever your needs may be. With cost-effective solutions that are sustainable for your organization, you can rest assured that EMMA International has you covered.
