Consulting in Quality Management System (QMS) Development

How We Can Assist You with a Quality Management System (QMS)

Quality can be defined as fitness for intended use. While we will help you develop a more specific QMS, here is our general approach:

1. Reaffirm to all personnel at your organization with a formal announcement that the company is going for a formal QMS.

2. Initiate the project with a Benchmarking Assessment- sometimes also called a "gap analysis."

3. Develop a QA Manual and Tier-II and Tier-III procedures and work instructions to meet the standard of your choice: such as ISO 9001:2015, 10 CFR 50 App. B and/or NQA-1.

4. Perform safety classification of your components and parts.

5. An effective Approved Suppliers List (ASL) will need to be developed.

6. Your measuring instruments will need to be calibrated by a quality supplier with traceability to the National and International Standards.

7. You will also need effective programs for: Nonconforming Material Control, Corrective and Preventive Actions, Internal Audits and Records Keepings.

Beri Associates offers experienced project managers for multi-projects who can develop projects from original concept to final completion on time, at or below forecasted cost. Both high and low dollar value projects are managed efficiently and successfully.
