A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of business processes focused on consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing their satisfaction. Its aligned organizational goals with customer satisfaction. because it’s easy to achieve the organizational goal for a short time but without customer satisfaction, it's really impossible to sustain.
