## QMS Implementation Workflow
Implement ISO 13485:2016 compliant quality management system from gap analysis through certification.
### Workflow: Initial QMS Implementation
1. Conduct gap analysis against ISO 13485:2016 requirements
2. Document current state vs. required state for each clause
3. Prioritize gaps by:
- Regulatory criticality
- Risk to product safety
- Resource requirements
4. Develop implementation roadmap with milestones
5. Establish Quality Manual per Clause 4.2.2:
- QMS scope with justified exclusions
- Process interactions
- Procedure references
6. Create required documented procedures — see [Mandatory Documented Procedures](#quick-reference-mandatory-documented-procedures) for the full list
7. Deploy processes with training
8. **Validation:** Gap analysis complete; Quality Manual approved; all required procedures documented and trained
> Use the Gap Analysis Matrix template in [qms-process-templates.md](references/qms-process-templates.md) to document clause-by-clause current state, gaps, priority, and actions.
