Would you like to convert your QMS into an extremely efficient quality management system?
- Efficient QMS™ -
eQMS software transforms any quality plan to a state-of-the-art quality program that enables your existing employees to achieve compliance to any quality system standard. eQMS is an efficient quality program that is operated on the world-wide-web or your company's private network to reduce overhead expenses, simplify the business operation and/or achieve a QMS pedigree.
- User-friendly point-and-click operation.
Efficient QMS™ quality system software was developed to eliminate undesirable overhead expenses and labor-intensive QMS system maintenance. If you're a small business with few employees that must compete with large businesses that have a certified quality system, please click here to learn about Efficient QMS™ software quality management system (QMS) that we designed to achieve certification using existing employees to implement and maintain complex QMS standards such as AISC or AS9100, AS9110, AS9120 or ISO 9001.
Efficient QMS™ helped us achieve a 99% score from our certification audit and helped us maintain the system after being downsized. Our Registrar's audit team remarked that the quality program put us in their top ten list of best businesses.
Efficient QMS(tm) is a solution for Company's 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.
We have very carefully created a browser-based working environment for management of complex quality systems using Efficient QMS™. 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, Users are able to maintain an auditable QMS when the business is victimized by down-sizing.
We designed Efficient QMS™ with emphasis on preserving the sanity of the quality manager - then we:
made it easy to navigate for all Users,
enabled flexibility to add or remove categories,
enabled transition to a paperless process using Form Maker,
made it easy to convert any paper form used by the business,
built-in a daily planner with reminder capability.
We invented Efficient QMS™ out of self-preservation and it has saved countless hours of labor for our Customers. User's intuitively navigate eQMS because it is browser-based and because QMS documents and forms are readily available to any authorized User that can access the network or website. We recommend installation of eQMS on an external webhost to enable "road warriors" to access project records in realtime.Click here for more information or click here for demo to vigorously experiment with eQMS.
We are proud Efficient QMS™ was chosen to support the quality improvement projects for the following services, businesses and agencies. Companies using eQMS have received pedigrees for ISO 9001, AS9100, AS9110 and Nadcap:

Efficient QMS™ is not pay-as-you-go software - pay one-time for all-time if you desire.
We provide paper-based quality management systems so we know their value, but they have one inherent problem that can't be overcome - they're always somewhere else when you need them...! When you finally get to them they may not be the latest revision because they're hardcopy. If your business is like any other then you're constantly improving your documents, which means your system could overlook updating your hardcopy that was issued to you a few months or years ago. Whenever you touch a hardcopy you have to think, "Am I using the latest procedure or work instruction?" - "Am I going to make scrap because this document is out-of-date?". These inherent hardcopy problems are dinosaur-eggs that can hatch anytime to eat your hard-earned dollars!
Efficient QMS™ doesn't allow dinosaur-eggs to lay around in your business operation to hatch at the worst possible time. Documents and records within eQMS can easily be kept up-to-date and they are available to you from any computer in your business or anywhere in the world if you deploy them to the internet. Every login to eQMS requires a password so your documents and records are protected from prying-eyes. Efficient QMS™ also provides you with a secure signature so you can sign important documents anytime from any computer on your network or the internet.
Evaluate eQMS to see how it can dramatically improve the efficiency of the quality program that you need to keep your Customers from going to your competitor. Any size business, including a one, two or three person shop, can now compete to win new business or keep their existing business by operating any QMS, including AS9003, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, ISO 9001, ISO 15161, MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858, FAA-PMA or Repair Station, TS16949, Construction, Maintenance, Machine Shop, Engineering, or any Customer required quality system by using a truly Efficient QMS™!

Insight to performing first article inspection FAI:
Characteristic Accountability
The Company shall verify and record the results of every design characteristic during first article inspection FAI. Every design characteristic shall have its own unique characteristic number.
NOTE: Reference characteristics may be omitted from the first article inspection FAI.
NOTE: Use more than one line if needed for any characteristic.
NOTE: Characteristics not measurable in the final product shall be verified by destructive means or during the manufacturing process (as long as they are not affected by subsequent operations). Characteristics verified at the detail level may be referenced in the assembly-level first article inspection report (FAIR).
Record of Results
Results from inspection of design characteristics shall be expressed in quantitative terms when a design characteristic is expressed by numerical limits. The Company shall record the results in the units specified on the drawing or specification unless otherwise approved by the Customer. Go/no-go data may be used when the design characteristic does not specify numerical limits (e.g., break all sharp edges) or an inspection technique is unavailable to provide quantitative terms. Go/no-go data may also be used when qualified tooling is used as a check feature for a specific characteristic.
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:
COMPANY BELIEFS AND VALUES
CORPORATE, STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT AND COMPANY POLICY
CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL)
GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS
KEY BUSINESS DRIVERS AND COMPANY OBJECTIVES
