These are the characteristics which need to be specified and their achievement controlled, assured, improved, managed, and demonstrated. These are the characteristics which form the subject matter of the specified requirements referred to in ISO 9000. When the value of these characteristics is quantified or qualified they are termed quality requirements or requirements for quality. ISO 8402 1994 defines requirements for quality as an expression of the needs or their translation into a set of quantitatively or qualitatively stated requirements for the characteristics of an entity to enable its realization and examination. While rather verbose, this definition removes the confusion over quality requirements and technical requirements. (An additional definition is provided in Appendix A.) Technical requirements for a product or service are quality requirements. The requirements of ISO 9000 are quality system requirements. 

The sociotechnical systems perspective is essentially top-down, in that it addresses the question of how the implications of management policies at all levels in the organization will affect the likelihood of errors with significant consequences. The sociotechnical systems perspective is therefore concerned with the implications of management and policy on system safety, quality, and productivity. 

Quality Management system priorities to consider are management responsibility, quality system principles, auditing, contract review, design control, corrective action, document control, quality records, training, product safety and liability, and statistical techniques, because these are critical aspects of the Quality Management system where Xmple Inc. already has some systems in place. 

To facilitate industry application of modern quality management techniques, including the implementation of quality systems approaches, to all aspects of pharmaceutical production and quality assurance. 

The relationship between the main subsystems and other minor systems is illustrated schematically in Figure 12.4. This places management at the core of the quality system, with the other systems arranged as major and minor satellites that revolve around it. This perspective provides the basis for the Quality System Inspection Technique (QSIT), which the FDA uses for auditing medical device facilities. This is based on a top-down approach, which starts with management controls and then looks at three other key subsystems of Design Controls, Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA) and Production and Process Controls. The belief is that by focussing on just these four subsystems, you will actually touch on all the other subsystems and obtain a sufficiently satisfactory overview of the state of compliance of the facility. 

The guidelines also stress that the perfunctory execution of any quality system will not guarantee the production of data of adequate quality. The correct procedures for feedback, remedial action and staff motivation must also be documented and acted upon. In other words, there must be a genuine commitment to quality within a laboratory for an internal quality control programme to succeed, i.e. the IQC must be part of a complete quality management system.

The economic framework conditions for hazardous substance substitution have thus also changed considerably in the course of the past twenty years. Many commodities are produced today in globally organised supply chains the origin, quality and application conditions of process chemicals and product components is complex. Developing appropriate management systems for product quality and product safety requires considerable organisational innovation by the companies involved. 

The example of the textile chain demonstrates (i) how much the techni-cal/aesthetic quality of products and chemicals-related product security are interdependent and (ii) what requirements exist for a quality management system beyond the supply chain level. Only the major brands can take this initiative on a global scale. For cosmetic, medical devices and food products, as well as technical products with high safety requirements (such as aircraft), management systems beyond supply chain level have now become a matter of survival. The same holds true for products that are subject to special waste and design regulations in Europe (such as automotive vehicles and electronic equipment). 

The use of risk management techniques in identifying product requirements, establishing processes and process control and monitoring methods, evaluating quality data, identifying appropriate corrective and preventive actions to address quality problems, and for other quality-related activities can increase the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the quality system.
