Integrated modeling for quality management

Documenting the existence of a certified quality management system is becoming a crucial factor of performance for many industrial companies. A certificate according to DIN EN ISO 9000ff. presupposes that the QM system conforms to set standards and that the system has been documented. Many companies look for ways to limit the documentation expenses on behalf of value adding design activities. One approach to this problem is the process-oriented setup of the QM documentation. This set-up can be developed from a computer-based enterprise model with a modeling tool automatically.
