Smarter Quality Systems, Fewer SOPs: An Integrated Approach to Quality Systems for Regulated Industries

Join Steve Gompertz, Principal Partner at QRx Partners, and Tejas Puranik, Sr. Director of Engineering Solutions and Compliance at Intellect, for a discussion on modernizing quality system processes in life sciences and other regulated industries using Quality Management Systems (eQMS) and AI-powered software tools. With over 30 years of experience, Steve shares how process mapping, AI-driven tools, and an integrated approach to quality are helping organizations reduce SOP overload, improve compliance, and build scalable, audit-ready systems.

Our expert panelists will share insights on:

• How process mapping tools like SIPOC (Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers) and IDEF0 (Integration Definition for Function Modeling) reduce risk and improve system design/li>
• Why traditional functional structures are limiting compliance success
• How Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accelerating Quality Management System (QMS) efficiency and audit readiness
