FAQs
What is Change Management?
When it comes down to it, your business systems need to manage quality, change, risk, production, vendors, equipment, etc) Often, a single system will have to serve multiple categories. For example, managing change is inherent in managing quality. The most evolved companies have figured out that they only have business systems to address customer needs, and those systems are subjected to the scrutiny of whether or not they are adequately addressing such requirements as managing quality, managing change, or managing risk where this requirement is appropriate and required by any number of standards being complied with.
Trying to build separate systems for each requirement, or worse, buying separate software for these requirements starts making things too complicated, frustrating employees and costing way more than is necessary.
It has been the life long mission of Lean & Mean Business Systems, Inc to pursue business management that has quality management, change management, risk management, etc integrated where it’s needed.
Why is it Important?
To some degree, all of your competitors are trying to get better, and your existing and future customers will start to notice if other companies can meet their needs better, faster, and cheaper than you can. To avoid the call of evolution and continuous improvement is to start digging your own grave.
Change is inevitable, might as well be good at it, right?
Types of Change Management
Go ahead and google “types of change management” and you’ll see everyone making up their own numbered lists for the sake of SEO, marketing, and trying to look like experts. You are the only expert of your own changes, which is true both personally, and professionally. Taking responsibility for this is the first step towards becoming a master of change for yourself, and the company you work for.
Total Lean Management (TLM) QMS Software has recognized this fact from the beginning and as a result developed custom fields, system settings, and utilized the most flexible and rapid update technologies in order to respond to customer needs as they pursued the method of change management that works best for them at their company, in their industry, with the resources they have available.
There is Only One Type of Quality Management System
Yours!
Over the last 20 years TLM has discovered a very basic truth when it comes to information management systems such as your eQMS, no two companies have the exact same needs.
In fact, the two biggest risks in the software selection process is either selecting software that is not flexible enough to manage information that is unique, and important to your workflow, thus forcing work arounds, or other concessions that effectively add waste to your business.
The other mistake is getting stuck with comprehensive, but inflexible quality management solutions due to their web based cloud hosting design, which forces a one size fits all approach to meeting customer needs.
And while one size might fit some, it might not fit all your needs when in the long run your understanding of those needs evolves and improves.
Total Lean Management Software, by definition, recognizes this fact, and addresses quality management solutions through a dual technology, upstream / downstream user landscape approach to meeting the needs of both your upstream and downstream user types. This is combined with our tiered approach to addressing newly discovered customer needs, making sure the software works in alignment with your business systems the day after your purchase, and for all the years ahead.
