Answer:

There is no single measurement that will tell you whether the QMS (Quality Management System) is effective or not. QMS effectiveness is comprised from different elements of the QMS and there could be several indicators ( KPI) to measure effectiveness and health of QMS, depending on organization's processes as well as Policy/quality objectives:
- Number of major non conformities coming from second/third parts audit
- Customer satisfaction improvement
- Confirmed certification from Registrar
- Obtain new certifications to improve your business
- Increasing the number of orders from Customers
- Cost reduction improvement ( including cost of poor quality)
- Time to market reduction for new products
- Zero defects achievement
- Compliance to law and regulation
