- 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.

There are advantages to remotely accessing Company policies, procedures, work instructions, forms and records or demonstrate for any Customer in realtime your commitment to their project.

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.

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™ 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:

Simple, low cost Efficient QMS™:

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.

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 special processes:

Access Laser Company
Alto Aviation, MA (aircraft sound systems)
Arcadia Aerospace Industries Testimonial: "We went through our Nadcap audit for AQS and NDT/UT and we received no NCR's. The Auditor was very complimentary of our system, which was in no small part because of eQMS."
Avionics Mounts Inc.
axept Custom Engineering (MEMS)
Canadian Solar Solutions Inc. This manager started working for Canadian Solar Solutions shortly after setting up and operating eQMS for his previous employer, Sustainable Energy Technologies. Because of lessons learned at his old employer, he convinced new management to use eQMS to help them survive a CSA audit in six (6) weeks, which they passed.

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...

Question from atk.com about how to report significant digits for first article inspection report:

Can you help me report significant digits related to first articles??

Hello,

Thanks for your question - please see ASTM E 29 for the industry standard rounding technique, which is applicable to all scientific work regardless of its nature (first article included).

ASTM states:

"When the digit next beyond the last place to be retained is less than 5, retain unchanged the digit in the last place retained.
When the digit next beyond the last place to be retained is greater than 5, increase by 1 the digit in the last place retained.
When the digit next beyond the last place to be retained is 5 and there are no digits beyond this 5 or only zeros, increase by 1 the digit in the last place retained if it is odd, leave the digit unchanged if it is even. Increase by 1 the digit in the last place retained if there are digits beyond this 5.
The rounded value must be obtained in one step by direct rounding of the most precise value available and not in two or more successive roundings."

We cite ASTM E 29 in Company documents whenever part of the work instruction is to report significant digits for compliance to a spec with only 1, 2, 3 or 4 decimal places. If your measuring device's readout displays more decimal places than the specification then you are required to round your reading to match the number of decimal places in the specification - that's where ASTM E 29 comes in handy...

Example - 0.021"±0.001"
0.0211" to 0.0214" must be rounded down to 0.021" for 2 significant digit specifications;
0.0215" to 0.0219" must be rounded up to 0.022" for 2 significant digit specifications;
(unless the last retained digit from the rounding method is even, e.g., 0.0225" is rounded down to 0.022" since the last digit retained is even, while 0.0226" is rounded up to 0.023")

Example - 0.0215"±0.0015"
0.0211" to 0.0219" must be applied as observed - no rounding is possible if the measurement equipment can only read to the 4th decimal place. If the equipment is capable of reading beyond the 4th decimal place then round to the last digit retained as described herein paying particular attention to whether the retained digit is odd or even when followed by the numeral 5.

Example - 550±50
499.1 to 499.4 must be rounded down to 499
499.5 to 499.9 must be rounded up to 500
600.1 to 600.5 must be rounded down to 600
600.6 to 600.9 must be rounded up to 601

Please find this rounding method in our catalog at "General Requirements".

Hope this information helps your project.
