Paper-Less QM Look and Feel

Paper-Less QM comes from an accumulation of suggestions, feedback and requirements from Customers, Prospects, regulators, industry consultants, and our own 14 years of experience in the Manufacturing Software marketplace.

QM offers a full range of quality functions from the establishment of a control plan, to test entry, problem notifications via automatic email , charting and graphing, non-conformances, corrective actions, etc... All of which facilitate the compliance to industry standards...

Some of these features are described below.

Control Plan: 

A group of characteristics that define the test to be performed, which is tied to a specific item or item family.

Allows you to electronically set up test definitions for the tester.

Test Entry:                  Attribute Tests (Pass/Fail)        &      Variable Tests (Value based)

Quality Bulletins:

Quality bulletins are free form rich text format documents (Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat are rich text applications) 

They allow you to insert text, pictures, links, even full motion videos, in a single document. Quality Bulletins are manually "Enabled" for a specific time period. 

They are intended to alert users that something has changed with regards to the Control Plan.

Defect Codes:

A code that can optionally be required to further define why an individual test result failed.

Alerts:

An automatic notification by the software when a trend is identified. 

Alerts can be manually defined. Examples of alerts include lighting up a stack light, auto creation of an NCR, sending an e-mail to someone to notify them that the trend occurred etc...

Non-Conformance Report (NCR):

A document that can be created manually or automatically that alerts the users to quality issues as well as gives

them a place to track such issues as cause codes, disposition/deviations, corrective actions etc.

Charts and Graphs:

Sophisticated Charting tools provide information which helps identify statistically significant trends that impact the quality performance. X-Bar and R charts, Histograms, Sigma charts, run charts and a variety of other individual charts provide the means to observe problems as they occur.
