Versatility
Unlike
early ISO 9000 certification systems that were very costly and commonly
took over a year to reach certification, the Q-Manager provides a very
cost effective system that can be completed in a timely manner.
The
Q-Manager Package is designed to minimize the need for outside assistance
in implementing the Quality Assurance System … reducing costs significantly.
Joint
ownership by management and staff, a key requirement of the Quality
Assurance System, assures better understanding and buy-in to achieve
lasting results and operational excellence.
