SAP QM: Optimization and Redesign

Continuously adapting and improving Quality Management

To remain competitive in today’s market, quality management (QM) is essential, as it ensures the expected high level of product and service quality. Only an effective QM system guarantees that companies meet customer requirements, comply with legal regulations and standards, and continuously improve internal processes. However, as these requirements constantly change, quality management in a company should not be seen as a static system—nor should the SAP QM module. Leveraging it for the benefit of the company involves analyzing evolving requirements and ideally incorporating them into SAP QM. The key to successful quality management is embracing this dynamism and turning it into continuous process improvement that adds value across all associated SAP processes. it-motive supports you in optimizing and redesigning QM processes.

What does Optimization mean?

Optimization involves fixing known errors and inadequacies or improving details within existing QM processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and consistency. Common measures include eliminating redundant steps, automating manual tasks, or implementing best practices into these processe

Wath does Re-Design mean?

Redesign takes optimization a step further: it involves re-conceptualizing and reshaping a QM process from the ground up. This may be necessary if the existing QM processes no longer meet current requirements or if new technologies or business practices need to be integrated.
