Incorporating Feedback and Improvements

Customer input will be continually solicited from all Customer disciplines in the form of verbal requests, CAR's, performance ratings or through Advanced Product Quality Planning meetings. The Customer's performance requirement rating feedback will be tracked locally and reported monthly. Every quarter, each operating unit's performance will be reviewed in corporate Continuous Improvement Meetings where general managers will be held accountable for Customer perceptions of their operating unit's performance.

In addition, semi-annual surveillance audits will be performed to assist in the evaluation and improvement of Company product and service processes.

Part of the process improvement cycle will be to evaluate the effectiveness of business process implementation. The Company will receive this information through various means, including Customer feedback and Customer satisfaction surveys (primarily the Customer Satisfaction Survey).

On a regular basis, a Significant Characteristics task force will evaluate process capabilities to compare performances at different plants and processes. Best practices will be exchanged and future processes will be determined. Management review meetings will be held at both Company and facility levels. Quality and operational performance will be reviewed and corrective actions will be initiated according to defined procedures.

The Company's processes will be systematically evaluated and improved to achieve better performance. Evaluation will be accomplished through TQM and other measurements. Improvement will be accomplished through a variety of activities. Some of these will include Process Improvement Team and Rapid Deployment Team activities, benchmarking, alternative technology, process analysis and information sharing. Teams will be active in process simplification, waste reduction, research and development and exploration of alternative materials and technologies.

Key support process requirements will be determined by their process owners according to:

- Efficient QMS™ -

Are you driven to convert your effective or undocumented QMS into an efficient quality management system to survive implementation and maintenance of standards like AISC, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, ISO 9001, FAA FIS, FAA PMA, FAA Repair Station, Nadcap, USACE or other comprehensive QMS that you know is required to compete in today's world market?

Recent Questions from Customers:

We are a two person shop and need some help to quickly become compliant with a Customer requirement. Do you have something we can use?

We have 47 Employees and lots of Customers. One of our team members in a recent management review meeting suggested we find something that will simplify things. Can you help?

Our small business has used MIL-I-45208 for years but our local QAR just rotated to another person and he wants to change our contract to require compliance to ISO 9001. We can't afford to give an arm and a leg to get compliant with ISO and there's no time in our delivery schedule to implement all this stuff. We could renegotiate the contract but we don't want the hit to our ABVS score. We really need something that's easy to maintain and won't cost an arm-and-a-leg. Will your eQMS thing do the job?

We've got tons of records in storage and we're constantly adding to it. We recently learned it would cost us over $30K to transfer all of it back to our shop or dispose of it. We have got to do something to get out from under this baggage or $30K will become $100K in a couple of years. Management wants to go paperless but can't find a cheap enough solution. We've looked online but everything is way too expensive, then we saw your Efficient QMS program. Will it really work to help us go from paper to electronic records?

Most businesses don't have a lot of time to develop a quality system and would rather find something that is already done, easy to manage and compliant with Customer requirements.

Think of the advantages you'll have when you can remotely access Company policies, procedures, work instructions, forms and records or demonstrate for any Customer in realtime your commitment to quality.

See for yourself how you can access and operate demo Efficient QMS™ to browse what could be your quality system and records using your Blackberry, iPad, iPod, Palm, Smartphone or any device with internet Browser software.

Type-in the following address in your portable device or click the following link with your computer to begin using eQMS:

http://www.as9100-quality-system.com/demo

User-friendly point-and-click operation. Any device with Browser capability can access and operate eQMS so you're never cutoff from your records or QMS policies, procedures, work instructions and forms, including other categories and business documents that you assimilate into eQMS. Efficient QMS™ quality system software was developed to eliminate undesirable overhead expenses and labor-intensive QMS system maintenance.

Efficient QMS Web App is a simple, cost effective, cloud-based and paperless solution that simplifies management activities for any Company.

User-friendly point-and-click operation.

Does your business need a good set of tools that actually simplifies a modern-day quality management system?

Imagine a point-and-click working environment for a QMS where everybody logs in and is instantly familiar with how things work because it is internet-based.

Users can access QMS documents and fill out forms online using any device with an internet browser - that's any desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet, PDA, Blackberry, iPad/iPhone/iPod and smartphone - any device with an internet Browser.

Records are in a database so they don't have to be transposed to a spreadsheet to analyze and there are no transposition errors.

Action items are displayed as soon as a User logs in and they're all displayed on the Events Calendar. Plus, eQMS sends email notifications and reminders in advance to enable Users to maintain their commitment to the schedule.

The latest revision documents are just a click away and are never caught by an Auditor because they are never out-of-date.

Documents under revision and new documents are controlled through a release process that assures the current documents are used right up to the moment that new documents are released.

Auditors love eQMS because everything they need to substantiate compliance is a point-and-click away.

Customers can log-in using a built-in Customer account that only displays QMS procedures and blank forms to protect proprietary information.

eQMS is expandable to enable access to other Company resources.

Scanned or PDF documents can be attached/embedded in forms, such as certs, receiving reports, contract modifications, drawings and more... If documents are too large to attach or embed in a record then the User can create a link to display the document.

Video training guides are the only resources needed to learn how to use the features of eQMS and they can be expanded to train other Company activities.

Procedures and records can be sent "live" to Customers, Suppliers, Potential Clients and Users to browse or fill out without having to log-in to eQMS.

Any form in the Company can be created using Form Maker and any procedure can be imported and edited using Process Maker.

Forms can be signed by responsible authorities to assure approval to proceed and prevent assumptions.

If you're a small business with few employees and no QMS documents that must compete with large businesses that have a certified quality system, please click here to learn more about the Efficient QMS™ software quality management system. If you're a medium-to-large business and must find a way to transition from paper to electronic management then please click here to see for yourself how demo eQMS will make that process less painful.

A QMS pedigree requires extensive resources and tools to achieve certification and significant overhead to maintain the system for annual recertification. eQMS was designed to achieve QMS certification using existing employees and significantly reduce or eliminate overhead expenses.

Are you faced with the challenge to increase revenues and think a QMS pedigree will improve your odds? Do your budget limitations force you to call upon your employees to implement and maintain a complex QMS standard with diminishing resources?

All our Customers consider eQMS a formidable tool in their arsenal of business resources to facilitate Company policy and keep "things" under control and continuously improving.

Efficient QMS™ is a self-contained resource that's accessible on your internal network or over the internet. Users can login to mine the data, sign authorizations, do homework, complete unfinished tasks, quote from the manual or procedures, access drawings and work instructions and demonstrate in realtime for your Customers how committed your Company is to quality. Your "office" is always open and your business files are always handy...!

From the Quality Manager of Electro Energy Inc:
"Efficient QMS™ helped us achieve a 99% score from our AS9100 certification audit and helped us maintain our QMS after being downsized. The Auditors from NSF-ISR remarked that our quality program was in their top ten list of best practices."

FYI: Electro Energy purchased the Eagle-Picher (EP) Colorado Springs, CO facility in Oct 2003 and transferred all personnel as assets of the sale. The QA Mgr had been with EP since March 1981 and most other personnel had as many years of experience in the business. Between 2003 and 2005 the Company became publicly traded. It took a couple of years for old management to retire then new management decided on Dec 1, 2005, to acquire an AS9100 pedigree. By July 7, 2006 the Company had its pedigree from NSF-ISR with a 99% score using Efficient QMS™ as the foundation of their quality management system. The QA Mgr knew the sale of EP to EEI would cause a paradigm-shift so he began to develop a web-based QMS in April 2004 to make the culture shock less painful, not to mention that EEI inherited over 30 years of document baggage that had to quickly become "auditable". The result of all this effort is Efficient QMS™.

Efficient QMS(tm) is a solution for companies that must protect their existing business and desire to compete for more business with Customers that want their Suppliers or Contractors to have a QMS pedigree - or operate with software-based project management tools.

We have very carefully created a browser-based working environment for management of simple or complex quality systems. We have succeeded in achieving the goal of operating a pedigree QMS without the need to hire additional personnel to maintain the QMS. In addition, eQMS Users are able to maintain a certified QMS when the business is victimized by down-sizing.

We designed Efficient QMS™ with emphasis on improving the management of Company resources and reducing the labor required to keep things up-to-date.

eQMS enables paperless management of:

We invented Efficient QMS™ out of self-preservation and it has saved countless hours of labor and significantly decreased "management" expenses. User's intuitively navigate eQMS because it is browser-based and because it is such a convenient tool to access QMS documents and records after password-protected login.

We recommend installation of eQMS on an external webhost to enable "road warriors" to manage their business in realtime using any device with Browser capability. Not a bad idea if you're sitting with a Customer talking shop and suddenly need to browse some records. Think about the intangible return on investment from increased Customer confidence in the business operation.

Anywhere you can connect to the internet or internal server to login to eQMS is another tool to promote and manage your business.

Location of demo Efficient QMS(tm) Price - $497 - includes versions to support ISO 9001 or AS9100C, AS9110A, AS9120A or AISC. Other QMS systems available with prior notice, such as nuclear quality management.

Click the above demo links to see what is included in each version of eQMS using the Customer-type login, which limits access to blank forms and the QA System category to protect confidential or proprietary records.

Login Name: customer
Password: customer

The Customer-type login is very useful because it reduces access to only the category named "QA System" and its blank forms. Other categories added to eQMS are normally proprietary so we built-in a Customer-type login, which can also be used by Suppliers, Auditors, Prospects, Contacts and more...
