The circle is a hub of communication. It represents all elements that must be regarded and integrated in order to achieve zero-defect production.

Within a comprehensive software solution, it is much easier to establish processes and information streams continuously; these can then be adjusted to the changing requirements quickly and optimized constantly.
If there are already IT systems in place, standardized interfaces connect and integrate RQM with these systems and thus implement continuous, event-driven, slim processes.
The greater the integration, the greater the benefit for the user.
RQM is an integrated comprehensive solution between ERP/PPS and the shop floor:
RQM enables compliance & governance, it replaces isolated solutions with a comprehensive, integrated solution, supports continuous improvement (PDCA), and reduces quality costs.
RQM is a standard system for everyone. It is enhanced in consultation with our customers (the RQM.Community) and in the standard version can be adapted customer-specifically and so that it is ready for release.
RQM links the areas of quality management and production management instead of regarding these in isolation from one another.
Thus it is possible to monitor, evaluate, and react in real time. Therefore defects can be avoided before they occur. Only this way is a quick implementation of the right measures even possible.
This reduces costs and increases quality, which in the end generates greater customer satisfaction and provides competitive advantages.
RQM is the only system on the market that enables control loops and CIP not just in rudimentary fashion, but continuously.
