How does a quality manager or business owner spell relief? Efficient QMS™

We know that an effective quality program pays for itself over time and is an accepted expense for operating a business. We know this expense is considered "overhead" or the "cost-of-doing-business" and is usually the first to be cut when right-sizing. The last 10 years of quality evolution has shown us that Customers want professional-grade management in their Suppliers before they'll consider them as candidates. Today, that means Suppliers must provide a pedigree that proves they are worthy of consideration by concerned Customers.

Customers and Suppliers have only one chance to do it right the first time. They have to invest their time and resources on good practices that will increase profits and continuously win new business from their Consumers. Customers and Suppliers have the same goal - perform as a team to satisfy their Consumers and increase profit margins.

Over the years, have you lived a lot of "the-flavor-of-the-month" improvement scenarios and read a lot of guidance. One endearing short-story that has lasting value is Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment: How to Improve Productivity, Quality, and Employee Satisfaction by William Byham PhD and Jeff Cox (Author). You can find it on Amazon for about $12.00. You'll learn about dinosaur eggs that are laid by the inherent inefficiencies of any process that later hatch to eat your hard work to cause you nothing but grief. Dinosaur eggs are the cause of problems that manifest when you least need them - just like Murphy's Law.

Efficient QMS™ software quality system was created to solve the inefficiencies of operating a paper-based quality management system and was developed over the past four years under actual aerospace operating conditions for Customers like Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company.

We provide paper-based quality management systems so we know their value, but they have one inherent problem that can't be overcome - they need additional labor to keep them current and distributed to employees, and 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!

The Efficient QMS™ quality system software doesn't allow dinosaur-eggs to lay around in your business operation to hatch when you least need their grief. 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™ provides a secure signature process so you can sign important documents anytime from any computer on your network or the internet.

Efficient QMS™ is enterprise-ready software that delivers best practice solutions for all the activities you need to comply with any quality management system. eQMS will help you focus on controlling and improving the processes that matter most to your business operation and your Customers.

eQMS is an internet and/or intranet software quality system for the 20's™ that has been designed to meet any quality assurance plan you can imagine. eQMS was developed to eliminate waste and enable the focus of scarce resources on valuable project goals. Efficient QMS™ converts any effective or comprehensive QMS into an efficient quality program.

Use eQMS to create business, production or quality related forms for collection of real-time data and then search the database for current events, metrics, trends and improvement opportunities.

Efficient QMS™ quality system software is simple to operate and easy to setup and maintain.

For a small fee we'll install Efficient QMS™ on your web host and confirm its operation. We can also install eQMS onto a reasonably priced server to jump-start your internal network or you can purchase eQMS and work independently to complete your project according to your schedule.

The quality manual and supporting procedures that are displayed in the demo eQMS are compliant with the AS9100 Aerospace Quality Management System. You can replace the manual to comply with ISO 9001 or replace the manual and delete a few procedures to comply with MIL-I-45208 - you decide. You could delete everything in eQMS to install your existing quality system or tailor the installed procedures to create a QMS that meets your project goals. Demo eQMS is used by all our Customers as a playground to discover the true potential of Efficient QMS™. Forms, procedures, categories and subcategories are constantly being added and deleted by Customers during their evaluation. Its impossible to say how much demo eQMS will be modified but we want our Customers to vigorously experiment. Of course, everything you see in the demo is not contained in the download but all the modifications you see will give you an idea about what you can do with Efficient QMS™.

We have antiquated systems, primarily undocumented and we are basically starting from scratch again. What it the most modern system? What is the difference between AS9003 and AS9100? Were your forms created as an ISO system that would make a company ISO Certification Ready? If not, do you have such a system?

The AS9003 QMS is known as "Less than AS9100" and was very popular but Boeing has deleted it from their Supplier flowdown and replaced it with AS9100 - now Boeing requires their Appendix A and B Suppliers to be registered to AS9100. Find Boeing’s Supplier requirements at: http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/doingbiz/supplier/

The most modern QMS is AS9100 - we hear through the grapevine that AS9003 will be abandoned by its sponsor SAE.org.

The Manufacturing Company Kit you mentioned in your email is a commercial-grade kit that does not contain the documents necessary to become certified to ISO 9001. Many of the forms in the kit can be used in an ISO QMS but the manuals and procedures are based upon MIL-Q-9858, which do not comply with ISO 9001:2008. The kit is intended to provide businesses that need a comprehensive management system today but no certification to ISO 9001 and to eventually transition to ISO 9001.

Click here to find a matrix that describes how MIL-I-45208 and MIL-Q-9858 complies with ISO 9001:1994 and how ISO 9001:1994 complies with ISO 9001:2008.

The QMS for AS9120 contains all the forms for compliance to ISO 9001. All the ASxxxx type standards are based upon ISO 9001 and include additional requirements to comply with the aerospace industry. When you elect to certify your QMS you will receive two certificates - one for ISO 9001 and one for the aerospace standard. The Aerospace Suppliers Association provides certification to their standard through certified registrars but they are not as widely known as the ASxxxx series of standards.

If you are starting your QMS from scratch and you want the most comprehensive system then AS9120 is a good choice; however, it is intended for a Stockist Distributor so you will need to add some manufacturing requirements to the manual. You could easily integrate MIL-I-45208 into the QMS but if you want the most comprehensive QMS you should consider integrating the manufacturing provisions from AS9100. That’s easy to do by purchasing the procedure for manufacturing from our AS9100 Kit.

Of course, any aerospace QMS will cause your business culture to go through a paradigm but that is a decision only you can make based upon your business plan. Are you seeking business with the primes, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop, NASA, etc - they all require certification to an aerospace standard but they’ll work with you if you’re a sole-source.

Since we’re an open-book website you can evaluate the impact of complying with an aerospace standard by browsing through the applicable conformance checklist or internal quality audit, such as AS9101 or AS9121. You will quickly find the decision to become certified is a life-changing event.

We’ve learned from the school-of-hard-knocks that all QMS standards require a business to make their records easy to collect and review. After you’ve implemented a QMS standard, the collection and management of records is the most costly part of compliance because those records are the only means you have to prove your compliance to the standard. Since you’re starting from scratch, have you considered using your internal network or your website as a tool to interact with your employees and Customers?

We suggest Efficient QMS™ to make all the effective QMS standards into efficient standards. None of the standards or Customers that flowdown the standards care much about how much pain and expense small businesses suffer to meet their requirements. The standards are designed to be effective and the User is supposed to figure-out how to make them efficient. We’ve done that with eQMS.

Our most comprehensive Distributor Kit for $297 is based upon AS9120 Stockist Distributor, which can be used to achieve registration to AS9120 and ISO 9001.

A less comprehensive but up-to-date Distributor kit for $197 is based upon ASA-100 Aerospace Suppliers Association.

A little more comprehensive and name-brand Distributor AND Manufacturer kit for $247 is based upon ASA-100 and MIL-I-45208 Inspection System.
