Save money with paperless green information technology - Green IT.

The innovative Efficient QMS™ software quality control program delivers a paperless green information technology infrastructure that enables businesses to reduce labor costs and achieve competitive advantages while reducing their carbon footprints and conserving natural resources.

Economically friendly green IT solutions are helping businesses balance environmental responsibility with profitability and growth. Manufacturers and service companies are among those with much to gain from using paperless green IT. In particular, the way these businesses get mission critical data from paper documents is not user-friendly from an economical or ecology-friendly perspective.

Efficient QMS™ Software Quality Control Program Document Management System:

Your documents are some of your most valuable assets. Everything from intellectual property to mission critical data resides in a format that can be easily lost, destroyed or compromised without a safe and secure content management system. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, Efficient QMS™ software quality control program can assist businesses to move to a paperless green IT environment through scanning, retrieval and archiving of their most important documents. Minimizing the use of paper makes sense from both an economic and ecology-friendly perspective.

Quality data and timely information are keys to unlocking the green potential within business processes. Efficient QMS™ can help businesses wring information from their stored information and establish more eco-friendly business models. For example, data mining can be used to make critical inventory decisions based on project-by-project information. That means every stockroom item can be purchased by analysis rather than by assumptions based on averages.

Governmental organizations such as Sandia National Laboratories have already realized the benefits of paperless technology and more companies in the private and public sector have begun to realize the benefits of reducing their paper usage using paperless green information technology. Learn how to increase your security and improve productivity all while saving time and money with Efficient QMS™ software quality control program. Your business will have a competitive advantage and the environment will be pleased with your performance.

Making the most of your resources means putting efficiency first in everything you do. To that end, Efficient QMS™ can help you reveal multiple opportunities to uncover potential savings while implementing green business strategies.

- 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?


Recent Questions from Customers:

We are a two person shop and need some help to quickly become compliant with a Customer requirement. Do you have something we can use?

We have 47 Employees and lots of Customers. One of our team members in a recent management review meeting suggested we find something that will simplify things. Can you help?

Our small business has used MIL-I-45208 for years but our local QAR just rotated to another person and he wants to change our contract to require compliance to ISO 9001. We can't afford to give an arm and a leg to get compliant with ISO and there's no time in our delivery schedule to implement all this stuff. We could renegotiate the contract but we don't want the hit to our ABVS score. We really need something that's easy to maintain and won't cost an arm-and-a-leg. Will your eQMS thing do the job?

We've got tons of records in storage and we're constantly adding to it. We recently learned it would cost us over $30K to transfer all of it back to our shop or dispose of it. We have got to do something to get out from under this baggage or $30K will become $100K in a couple of years. Management wants to go paperless but can't find a cheap enough solution. We've looked online but everything is way too expensive, then we saw your Efficient QMS program. Will it really work to help us go from paper to electronic records?


Most businesses don't have a lot of time to develop a quality system and would rather find something that is already done, easy to manage and compliant with Customer requirements.

There are advantages to remotely accessing Company policies, procedures, work instructions, forms and records to 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 any device with internet Browser.

Type-in the following address in your portable device or click the following link with your computer to begin using eQMS:

User-friendly point-and-click operation. Any device with an internet Browser 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 was developed to eliminate undesirable overhead expenses and labor-intensive QMS system maintenance.



Efficient QMS Web App is a simple, cost effective, cloud-based and paperless solution that simplifies management activities for any Company.

User-friendly point-and-click operation.

Does your business need a good set of tools that actually simplifies a modern-day quality management system?

Imagine a point-and-click working environment for a QMS where everybody logs in and is instantly familiar with how things work because it is internet-based.

Users can access QMS documents and fill out forms online using any device with an internet browser - that's any desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet, PDA, Blackberry, iPad/iPhone/iPod and smartphone - any device with an internet Browser.

Records are in a database so they don't have to be transposed to a spreadsheet to analyze and there are no transposition errors.

Action items are displayed as soon as a User logs in and they're all displayed on the Events Calendar. Plus, eQMS sends email notifications and reminders in advance to enable Users to maintain their commitment to the schedule.

The latest revision documents are just a click away and are never caught by an Auditor because they are never out-of-date.

Documents under revision and new documents are controlled through a release process that assures the current documents are used right up to the moment that new documents are released.

Auditors love eQMS because everything they need to substantiate compliance is a point-and-click away.

Customers can log-in using a built-in Customer account that only displays QMS procedures and blank forms to protect proprietary information.

eQMS is expandable to enable access to other Company resources.

Scanned or PDF documents can be attached/embedded in forms, such as certs, receiving reports, contract modifications, drawings and more... If documents are too large to attach or embed in a record then the User can create a link to display the document.

Video training guides are the only resources needed to learn how to use the features of eQMS and they can be expanded to train other Company activities.

Procedures and records can be sent "live" to Customers, Suppliers, Potential Clients and Users to browse or fill out without having to log-in to eQMS.

Any form in the Company can be created using Form Maker and any procedure can be imported and edited using Process Maker.

Forms can be signed by responsible authorities to assure approval to proceed and prevent assumptions.



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™ 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 software 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 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 improving the management of Company resources and reducing the labor required to keep things up-to-date.

eQMS enables paperless management of:

  • bulletins
  • calibration
  • changes
  • configuration
  • corrective actions
  • expired materials
  • forms
  • improvements
  • manuals
  • policies
  • procedures
  • production records
  • nonconformances
  • preventive actions
  • purchase orders
  • receiving inspection
  • training
  • work instructions - and more...

Simple, low cost Efficient QMS™:

  • has a daily planner with reminder login for Users that can't remember everything they need to do
  • has a video User's manual
  • has easy navigation for all Users with any device with an internet Browser
  • has flexibility to add or remove categories to fit the business operation - and more...

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.

Location of demo Efficient QMS(tm) Price - $497 - includes versions to support ISO 9001 or AS9100C, AS9110A, AS9120A or AISC. Other QMS systems available with prior notice, such as nuclear quality management.

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...

How does a quality manager or business owner spell relief?
Efficient QMS™


We know that an effective quality program pays for itself over time and is an accepted expense for operating a business. We know this expense is considered "overhead" or the "cost-of-doing-business" and is usually the first to be cut when right-sizing. The last 10 years of quality evolution has shown us that Customers want professional-grade management in their Suppliers before they'll consider them as candidates. Today, that means Suppliers must provide a pedigree that proves they are worthy of consideration by concerned Customers.

Customers and Suppliers have only one chance to do it right the first time. They have to invest their time and resources on good practices that will increase profits and continuously win new business from their Consumers. Customers and Suppliers have the same goal - perform as a team to satisfy their Consumers and increase profit margins.

Over the years, have you lived a lot of "the-flavor-of-the-month" improvement scenarios and read a lot of guidance. One endearing short-story that has lasting value is Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment: How to Improve Productivity, Quality, and Employee Satisfaction by William Byham PhD and Jeff Cox (Author). You can find it on Amazon for about $12.00. You'll learn about dinosaur eggs that are laid by the inherent inefficiencies of any process that later hatch to eat your hard work to cause you nothing but grief. Dinosaur eggs are the cause of problems that manifest when you least need them - just like Murphy's Law.

Efficient QMS™ software quality control program was created to solve the inefficiencies of operating a paper-based quality management system and was developed over the past four years under actual aerospace operating conditions for demanding Customers or prime contractors like Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company.

We provide paper-based quality management systems so we know their value, but they have one inherent problem that can't be overcome - they need additional labor to keep them current and distributed to employees, and 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 revision procedure or work instruction?" These inherent hardcopy problems are dinosaur-eggs that can hatch anytime to eat your hard-earned dollars!

The Efficient QMS™ quality system doesn't allow dinosaur-eggs to lay around in your business operation to hatch when you least need their grief. Documents and records are kept up-to-date and they are available to you from any computer in your business or anywhere in the world if you deploy eQMS to the internet. Every login to eQMS requires a password so your documents and records are protected from prying-eyes. Efficient QMS™ provides a secure signature process so you can sign important documents anytime from any computer on your network or the internet.

Efficient QMS™ is enterprise-ready to deliver best practice solutions for all the activities you need to comply with any quality management system. eQMS will help you focus on controlling and improving the processes that matter most to your business operation and your Customers.

eQMS is an internet and/or intranet software quality control program for the 20's™ that has been designed to meet any quality assurance plan you can imagine. eQMS was developed to eliminate waste and enable the focus of scarce resources on valuable project goals. Efficient QMS™ converts any effective or comprehensive QMS into an efficient quality program.

Use eQMS to create business, production or quality related forms for collection of real-time data and then search the database for current events, metrics, trends and improvement opportunities.

Efficient QMS™ quality system is simple to operate and easy to setup and maintain.

Software Design Processes

Considerations for Software Design Decisions

Divide this section of the specification into paragraphs as needed to present design decisions; that is, decisions about the software's behavioral design (how it will behave, from a user's point of view, in meeting its requirements, ignoring internal implementation) and other decisions affecting the selection and design of the software. This section should state that all decisions are explicit in the software requirements or are deferred to the design. Design decisions that respond to requirements designated critical, such as those for safety, security or privacy, should be placed in separate subparagraphs. A dependency should be stated if a design decision depends upon system states or modes. Design conventions needed to understand the design should be presented or referenced.

Examples of software design decisions:

Considerations for Software Components

This section of the specification should include:

  • f. Identify the program library in which the software that implements each software unit is to be placed.

  • These suggestions barely scratch the surface of developing a software design specification but you can see the level of detail involved in the design process.

    Hope this information helps your project.
