Efficient QMS™ was developed to eliminate undesirable overhead expenses and labor-intensive QMS system maintenance.	Take 25% off to celebrate our 10th year online helping businesses with quality solutions. - 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.

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: bulletins calibration changes configuration corrective actions expired materials forms improvements manuals policies procedures production records nonconformances preventive actions purchase orders receiving inspection training work instructions - and more... Simple, low cost Efficient QMS™: has a daily planner with reminder login for Users that can't remember everything they need to do has a video User's manual has easy navigation for all Users with their internet Browser has flexibility to add or remove categories to fit the business operation - and more... Click here to learn how-to add any word-processed document to 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.

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

Efficient QMS™ 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 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 twisted guidance by so-called experts. 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 being crushed by one of Murphy's Laws.

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!

Efficient QMS™ 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™ also provides you with a secure signature so you can sign important documents anytime from any computer on your network or the internet.

Efficient QMS™ is enterprise quality management 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 quality management 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 - it really converts an effective, 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.

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. Click here to learn about support options.

Minimum System Requirements:
Any Web Host or Web Server running PHP and MySQL and IonCube.

Minimum Software Requirements:
FTP Client to upload eQMS files to your web host or simply use your Host's control panel

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™.

Our company is interested in the AS9100 complete kit with the Efficient QMS database. We have a few questions:

1) Since we are a small company with less than 5 employees, will there be a lot of changes to the manuals and forms to compensate for the people that wear more than one hat?

Answer: All hats are subject to the AS9100 standard - there are no exceptions when the Registrar's Auditor asks questions - all hats need to play their part from the same sheet of music.

Answer: We try to keep things as simple as possible - the orientation videos are the only resource for installation and use of eQMS - we based operation of eQMS from the perspective of today's internet Browser - if you can navigate the internet you can operate eQMS.

Answer: We provide a download link via email to deliver eQMS and another link to download a Zip file that contains a few MS Word documents. The following documents are provided with the AS9100 version of eQMS:

4) Is there any problem or special needs to install Efficient QMS on a WWW server so that the database can be accessed from anywhere via the web?

Answer: Your setup is perfect for eQMS - all you need to do is create an empty MySQL database for eQMS to use.
