Quality Assurance Management
Efficiently manage Nonconforming Material, Corrective Actions, Employee Training, Document Control, Internal Auditing, Calibration, Preventive Maintenance, Contract Review and Control Plans — consolidated into a single Quality Assurance module for manufacturing businesses.
Why Quality Assurance Matters
Quality Assurance (QA) focuses on preventing defects by designing robust processes, training employees, and maintaining equipment. QA supports QC (Quality Control) by ensuring inspections and testing are effective, and it provides the documentation and traceability needed for ISO 9001 and AS9100 compliance.
Quality Assurance Modules
Inspection & Nonconforming Material
Record, track and manage inspections and nonconforming material with a simple, effective process that gives real-time visibility and traceability.
- Log inspection results and dispositions
- Create quarantine and disposition workflows
- Link nonconforming items to orders, batches, and suppliers
- Full history for audit and corrective action linkage
Corrective Action (CAPA)
Record, manage and track all corrective actions using structured methodologies such as 8D and 5-Why to drive root-cause resolution.
- Create CAPA records tied to inspections, audits or supplier issues
- Assign owners, due dates and follow-up tasks
- Track progress to closure with evidence and signatures
- Embed root-cause analysis and preventative measures
Employee Training Management
Manage employee training requirements, record completions, and maintain a traceable training program across the organization.
- Define required skills and certifications by role
- Schedule and record training, refreshers and renewals
- Track competency and training history per employee
- Generate training reports for audits and management review
Document Control
Full-cycle electronic document control: add, review, approve, release and obsolete documents while maintaining version history and approvals.
- Central repository for procedures, work instructions, and forms
- Version control, approvals, and release workflows
- Automatic notifications on document changes
- Easy retrieval for audits and regulatory requests
Internal Auditing
Plan, execute and record internal audits with follow-up tracking so actions are assigned and closed on schedule.
- Schedule audit plans and frequency
- Record findings, evidence and nonconformances
- Assign corrective tasks and track closure
- Maintain an audit history for compliance and improvement
Calibration & Calibrated Devices
Manage all calibrated devices, whether internal or 3rd party, track calibration results, and maintain certification records with automated alerts.
- Inventory of calibrated instruments and assets
- Schedule and record calibrations and certificates
- Automated reminders for upcoming calibration due dates
- Attach calibration certificates and results to records
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Manage PM plans, inventory, labor, unplanned downtime and repairs with automated PM alerts to reduce equipment failures and improve uptime.
- Create PM schedules and tasks by equipment
- Track PM history, parts used and labor
- Report on downtime, repairs and maintenance costs
- Automated notifications to maintenance teams
Contract / Order Review
Electronic review process for customer orders using a functional group approach to ensure requirements are understood before production begins.
- Review customer requirements, specs and constraints
- Document contractual obligations and special requirements
- Assign review tasks to functional owners
- Capture approvals and actions prior to order acceptance
Control Plans
Define inspection points, pass/fail criteria and details per operational step to keep QC consistent and measurable on the shop floor.
- Map inspection points to operations and routes
- Set pass/fail criteria and sample frequencies
- Link control plans to BOMs and work orders
- Use results to drive continuous improvement
Features & Benefits
- Consolidated quality processes provide real-time status and timely response to undesired situations.
- Eases the auditing process and simplifies data collection for external agencies and certification bodies.
- Supports continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, TQM) through integrated CAPA and inspection data.
- Helps manufacturers demonstrate ISO 9001 and AS9100 compliance with full traceability of records, training and calibration.
