How Life Sciences Teams Manage Audits, Change Control & Quality Reporting in an eQMS
A practical walkthrough of how GxP-regulated teams keep suppliers organized, replace paper-based issue/change control workflows, and generate actionable reporting in an eQMS (ZenQMS).
As quality processes scale, the work often breaks down in familiar ways: a stack of forms moving desk-to-desk, approvals getting stuck in manual handoffs, and audit evidence spread across scattered locations. It starts to feel like a game of “telephone” – hard to track ownership, status, and what’s actually been approved.
In this session, we’ll walk through how teams use an eQMS (ZenQMS) to bring structure and visibility to audits, issues/change control, and reporting, and how everyday users can quickly see what needs action (signatures, assignments, and past-due items).
Who Should Attend
- QA leaders
- Quality Managers
- Compliance Managers
- Anyone responsible for audit readiness, supplier/vendor management, quality workflows, or reporting
By the end of the session, you’ll understand:
- How audits and supplier/vendor management are centralized in an eQMS
- How teams replace paper/email change control with trackable workflows and consistent data
- How reporting supports drill-down visibility and management review exports
What We’ll Cover
Issues & Change Control in ZenQMS
- Replace manual workflows with structured, staged processes
- Standardize data capture (required fields, dropdowns, instructional text)
- Track ownership, status, approvals, and supporting evidence (attachments/links)
- Maintain a complete audit trail across the workflow
Audits in ZenQMS
- Centralize supplier, vendor, and internal audit management
- Keep audit history and evidence organized in one place
- Set up recurring audits and keep schedules visible
- Stay inspection-ready without scattered files
Quality Reporting in ZenQMS
- View KPIs across modules and time periods
- Filter by time range and attributes like users/roles
- Drill into reports to see underlying records
- Export reports for management review and internal reporting
Note: ZenQMS includes additional modules beyond Documents and Training. This session focuses on these two areas for a practical walk-through.
