ENG26SS303. Quality Management - SQMS 1: Navigating the requirements and avoiding the pitfalls, presented by QMCore

Suitable for: Firms and individuals operating a system of quality management under the requirements of SQMS 1, ISQM 1, or QC 1000. Firms and individuals can benefit, regardless of where they are in their quality management journey.

As firms continue operating and refining their systems of quality management, many are navigating what implementation looks like in practice and how their systems evolve through operation. Focusing on practical areas, this session will explore common pitfalls and issues that firms are currently facing within their system of quality management.

With many firms making use of manual methods to capture and document their risk assessment, the session will begin by discussing some of the common issues surrounding the maintenance and reporting of risk assessment outputs.

The session will then move on to discuss how the risk assessment informs the monitoring plan. We will also provide insights into where a monitoring plan may be at risk of not achieving its objectives. This part of the session will also cover practical actions firms can take away to help ensure their monitoring plan succeeds.

The final element of the session will highlight some of the core features and benefits that technology solutions can provide to firms of all sizes in supporting their quality management compliance journey.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify possible problems within your existing risk assessment approach before they impact the operation of your system of quality management
• Create awareness of the issues firms will face in implementing and executing monitoring plans including some simple steps to build for success
• Recall the key benefits technology solutions can provide to firms in operating their system of quality management during 2026 and beyond.
