The AS9100C aviation, space and defense quality plan is a very effective quality control system for controlling critical business operations.

The AS9100C quality control system was created to support the aviation, space and defense industries. A significant goal of the AS9100C aerospace quality plan is to adopt a process-oriented method of management. The AS9100C aviation quality control system emphasizes the importance of:

understanding, meeting and integrating Customer requirements,

considering processes in terms of added value,

obtaining results of process performance and effectiveness,

continuous improvement of processes based on objective measurement.

The Complete AS9100C QMS kit has more documents because of lessons-learned and continuous improvement opportunities that we've encountered over a significant time (30 years to be truthful with the most demanding Customers on the planet). The additional forms and work instructions help to present a mature quality management system that increases credibility and reduces costs to earn more points from Customers - more points usually means more business. Your desire to demonstrate for your Customers that your business goes the extra mile is well served by the Complete AS9100C QMS kit.

The Lean AS9100C Quality Management System kit contains fewer documents than the complete kit because we've deleted dozens of the lessons-learned or value-added documents that we created from continuous improvements in management systems that have survived significantly beyond the dreaded 5 year longevity barrier. The lean AS9100C kit is designed to enable startup businesses and Companies nearing the 5 year longevity barrier to earn their QMS pedigree. The Lean AS9100C quality control kit allows you to learn your own lessons to create your own value-added documents during your startup years (<5yrs). Of course, you are responsible for your destiny - nobody can say you shouldn't be using tools that help to accelerate maturity and reduce costs from hard lessons on your path to the 5 year longevity barrier.

Typical Expenses for QMS Registration | ISO 9001:2000 vs ISO 9001:2008

- 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?

Do you need realtime access to your QMS system and records using any device in your toolbox that can connect to the internet with a Browser?

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 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(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 preserving the sanity of the men and women responsible for quality management, which, when done right, always continuously improves 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 because eQMS uses a web-based interface and only requires simple show-and-tell videos for the User's manual - and we,

...can't mention every feature here - there are too many...

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.

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...

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!
