Our enterprise quality management software seamlessly integrates solutions, making it the ultimate choice.
Managing Your QMS Software WorkFlows
The scope of your Quality management software can easily expand into material management, since it is the quality of purchased items, and the final products produced from them that are at the heart of your quality management efforts.
While this graphic shows some high level relationships between modules, in reality, there can be many more, and sometimes, many less.
TLM Enterprise Quality management software was designed to ensure you can capture them the way they actually need to be for your quality management systems, as that might not be exactly like everyone else’s.
Plus, during the implementation, any little details that need adjusting to accommodate any particular needs your business might have is just standard practice at TLM. We offer the most affordable quality management software on the market.

FAQs
What is a Quality Management System?
In retrospect the idea that there was something different called a “quality management system” was probably a mistake. In reality, a company has business systems that should address the requirements and risks identified in a quality management system standard, like ISO 9001 or ISO 13485. It was just human nature in the very early days of meeting those requirements that the idea evolved to do it with a collection of workflows aimed at the requirements and therefore given their own name. This led to other mistakes related to getting upper management to support and provide resources to these activities to the point it became its own requirement in the standards, as it was hard for management to see these systems as business critical, which companies are now slowly realizing is the case.
It has been the life long mission of Lean & Mean Business Systems, Inc to pursue business management that also complies with quality management system standards. When Total Lean Management (TLM) QMS Software is integrated with ZOHO One, a company can manage 99% of its information needs with only two very affordable, and integrated applications, and sail through ISO audits like a pro.
What is the purpose of a quality management system?
Addressing the requirements in a quality management system standard like ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or ISO 16949 helps a company build business systems that address common risks associated with mistakes that lead to unhappy customers.
For example, documented procedures and work instructions are invaluable in establishing the correct way to perform a task. As the company evolves and improves its processes, those documents should capture those changes, older versions need to be taken out of circulation and people might need to be trained on the new way. The alternative is word of mouth, which people will forget, and will walk out the door as soon as the person who knows this process best finds another job.
Therefore, the purpose of a “quality management system” can be thought of as all the company policy, procedures, and work instructions that address risks like this one in a variety of business categories as identified in the quality management system standard.

Can I view a sample Quality Management System?
Most companies allow their quality management system to be viewed internally by employees, by the registration body who certifies it to one or more standards, or by prospective customers who want to know their critical vendors have a formal QMS in place and that it’s actively being used for continuous improvement.
By its very nature it should have all the problems being solved and tracked through such systems as internal audits, corrective actions, customer complaints or non-conforming material reports. So normally in order to see a full system, that includes all the document procedures and the ongoing records of continuous improvement, you would have to build your own system.
However, we are very proud of our own quality management system, having built it with TLM, so after you schedule a demo we will show you our system, as we use a copy of our own QMS for our software demos as well for our own quality management system. Before that, if you want to see how TLM can display your QMS documents through the web app, you can start with our quality manual and use the links to other documents to have a look around.
After the demo you can gain access to our 30-day or 60-day trials. The 30-Day Trial is the start up database you can use to start building your own system risk and cost free. The 60-Day Community Trial will have more example data in it, and is good for just clicking around, but nothing entered can be saved for you like we can do with the 30-Day Trial.
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.
