Big companies often have a variety of different product types, internal departments, internal processes and many many people involved. Thus, the quality management system is often so big and complex that product ideas will never reach the market or after a so long time that any innovation is killed.
What are your principle concepts and ideas to make quality management systems in big companies really lean?
Here are some examples from me:
- break up large structures into small units with their own, self-sufficient QMS
- completely outsource development and production and work via supplier monitoring
- less content in process descriptions and work instructions. Thus more freedom is achieved within product realization projects. Regulatory compliance is therefore more likely to be represented by development plans than by the procedural instructions in the QMS
