This paper presents the design and implementation of an Integrated Quality Man- agement System (IQMS) leveraging the SAP Quality Management (QM) module. The objective was to establish a centralized, automated, and analytics-driven framework for managing quality processes across procurement, production, and maintenance. Prior to implementation, the organization faced challenges including inconsistent inspection meth- ods, delayed defect resolution, limited audit traceability, and absence of real-time insights. The proposed solution integrates SAP QM capabilities such as quality planning, au- tomated inspections, defect management, and audit standardization into a unified frame- work. Real-time dashboards and reporting tools provide actionable insights that support proactive decision-making. Results indicate improvements in inspection accuracy, defect resolution speed, audit compliance, and organizational responsiveness. The system also fostered accountability and continuous improvement, demonstrating that SAP QM can evolve from a compliance-focused tool into a strategic enabler of operational excellence.
