ISO 9001:2008 quality plan information and resources in the field of quality management for business owners, managers and quality system practitioners that need to start, upgrade or certify their quality system to meet Customer requirements.

Earn your Customer's confidence and perhaps earn new business by implementing an ISO 9001:2008 quality plan. Upgrade an aging quality control system or spend the time only once to implement an ISO quality plan that meets the needs of almost all Customers. Choose to certify your new ISO 9001 quality plan or simply assert and advertise your compliance to the ISO standard.

You must be aware that Customers are beginning to work only with companies that have a documented ISO 9001:2008 quality plan, which is a quality management system that assures Customers that they are not risking their business with a Supplier that has no formalized business practice.

At-PQC™ can help you win your Customer's confidence with an ISO quality plan that meets just about all Customer expectations. Even if you've never had a quality control system, you can send your Customers a copy of your ISO 9001:2008 quality manual and explain that you are working towards compliance. You can assure your Customers that your ISO quality plan will be compliant with the standard during the term of your contract. After you implement your ISO 9001 quality control system you can advertise that you are compliant but until you have a registration number you won't be able to advertise that you are certified to the standard.

At-PQC™ understands that you need an ISO quality plan that actually works to gain Customer confidence. We've made the process of finding and implementing an ISO quality control system as painless as possible by providing a library of documents for a wide variety of business operations that designs its own products.

At-PQC™ lets you evaluate the entire contents of all our demonstration documents, which guarantees you will make a well-informed decision for your project. Better yet, you can tailor your documents to display your business name and logo to make it appear as though you created the management system because the documents you download are fully editable in MS Word and Open Office.

At-PQC™ demonstration documents are WYSIWYG; that is, what you see in demonstration documents is precisely what you receive in editable format and we don't impose invasive DRM User-limitations. Please feel free to use our documents for your project according to our license terms and conditions.

Please see below for an alphabetical listing of the documents in our ISO 9001:2008 Quality Plan Kit. If you still can't find what you're looking for, please contact us for assistance - your need is our continuous improvement opportunity.

Do you need to convert your effective QMS into an efficient quality program management system?
- Efficient QMS™ -

eQMS software transforms any quality plan to a state-of-the-art quality control program that enables your existing employees to achieve compliance to any commercial or industry sponsored 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 - or operate with software-based project management tools.

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 more about the Efficient QMS™ software quality management system.

A QMS pedigree requires extensive resources and tools to achieve certification, and significant overhead to maintain the system for annual assessment. eQMS was designed to achieve QMS certification using existing employees to significantly cut and eliminate overhead expenses. Most business managers set a goal to increase revenues with a QMS pedigree but call upon their employees to implement and maintain a complex QMS standard with few tools to accomplish the task - like an unfunded mandate. All our Customers consider eQMS a formidable tool in their arsenal of business resources to facilitate Company policy and keep "things" under control.

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 so much more - the 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 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."

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 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, eQMS Users are able to maintain a certified QMS when the business is victimized by down-sizing.

We designed Efficient QMS™ with emphasis on preserving the sanity of the quality manager, which always makes it easier on the Company - then we:
built-in a daily planner with reminder capability for everybody that can't remember everything they need to do,
enabled flexibility to add or remove categories for ERP capability,
enabled on-line editing and configuration management of all procedures and work instructions using Process Maker,
enabled transition to a paperless-process by converting almost any paper form to a database-process using Form Maker,
made it easy to navigate for all Users (its a web-based interface) - and we,
know we can't mention every feature - there are too many...

We invented Efficient QMS™ out of self-preservation and it has saved countless hours of labor and significantly improved the bottom-line. User's intuitively navigate eQMS because it is browser-based and because it is so convenient to access QMS documents and forms after login. 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 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 is in no small part thanks to eQMS."

Efficient QMS™ is not pay-as-you-go software - no subscriptions - no per-User fees - no other expenses (that's refreshing)!

Evaluate eQMS to see how it can dramatically improve the efficiency of the quality program that you need to keep your Customers happy. Any size business (including a one, two or three person shop or "big business") can use eQMS to help make the sale to win new business or keep costs way down for existing business. You'll never have to say "I'll get back with you on that..." because all you have to do is login to demonstrate in realtime the Company's commitment to "quality".

You can populate eQMS with any management system - including standards like AS9003, AS9100, AS9110, AS9120, ASA-100, ISO 9001, ISO 15161, MIL-I-45208, MIL-Q-9858, FAA-PMA, NQA-1, FAA Repair Station, TS16949 - and non-standard management systems like Construction, Maintenance, Machine Shop, Engineering, Commercial, Civil, Government - any Customer flowdown quality program or voluntary quality management system!

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.

How does a business spell relief?
