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.

• The average office worker can use 10,000 sheets of copy paper each year.

• An employee making $15.00/hr can spend 25% of their time filing and looking for documents. This can cost an employer nearly $8,000 a year.

• The amount of wood and paper we throw away is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years.

• Each employee hired for document management can cost more than $50,000 a year in wages and benefits.

• The carbon footprint for every employer will someday include the pollution created by employees driving to work.

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.

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...

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 Customers 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 procedure or work instruction?" - "Am I going to make scrap because this document is out-of-date?". These inherent hardcopy problems are dinosaur-eggs that can hatch anytime to eat your hard-earned dollars!

The Efficient QMS™ quality system software doesn't allow dinosaur-eggs to lay around in your business operation to hatch when you least need their grief. Documents and records within eQMS can easily be kept up-to-date and they are available to you from any computer in your business or anywhere in the world if you deploy them 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 software that delivers 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 software is simple to operate and easy to setup and maintain.

For a small fee we'll install Efficient QMS™ on your web host and confirm its operation. We can also install eQMS onto a reasonably priced server to jump-start your internal network or you can purchase eQMS and work independently to complete your project according to your schedule. Click here to learn about support options.

Minimum System Requirements:
Any Web Host or Web Server running PHP and MySQL

Minimum Software Requirements:
FTP Client to upload eQMS files to your web host

The quality manual and supporting procedures that are displayed in the demo eQMS are compliant with the AS9100 Aerospace Quality Management System. You can replace the manual to comply with ISO 9001 or replace the manual and delete a few procedures to comply with MIL-I-45208 - you decide. You could delete everything in eQMS to install your existing quality system or tailor the installed procedures to create a QMS that meets your project goals. Demo eQMS is used by all our Customers as a playground to discover the true potential of Efficient QMS™. Forms, procedures, categories and subcategories are constantly being added and deleted by Customers during their evaluation. Its impossible to say how much demo eQMS will be modified but we want our Customers to vigorously experiment. Of course, everything you see in the demo is not contained in the download but all the modifications you see will give you an idea about what you can do with Efficient QMS™.

Need help to convert your documents, create forms, tailor a QMS - call for support - 719-649-4242.

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:

• Design decisions regarding inputs the software will accept and outputs it will produce, including interfaces with other systems and users. Other references are appropriate.

• Design decisions on software behavior in response to each input or condition, including actions the software will perform, response times and other performance characteristics, description of physical systems modeled, selected equations/algorithms/rules and handling of disallowed inputs or conditions.

• Design decisions on how databases/data files will appear to the user.

• Selected approach to meeting safety, security and privacy requirements.

• Other design decisions made in response to requirements, such as selected approach to providing required flexibility, availability and maintainability.

Considerations for Software Components

This section of the specification should include:

• Identify the software units that make up the final configuration item. Each software unit should be assigned a project-unique identifier.
  Note: A software unit is an element in the design of a configuration item (CI); for example, a major subdivision of a CI, a component of that subdivision, a class, object, module, function, routine or database. Software units may occur at different levels of a hierarchy and may consist of other software units. Software units in the design may or may not have a one-to-one relationship with the code and data entities (routines, procedures, databases, data files, etc.) that implement them or with the computer files containing those entities. A database may be treated as a CI or as a software unit.

• Show the static (such as "consists of") relationships of the software units. Multiple relationships may be presented, depending on the selected software design methodology (for example, in an object-oriented design, this paragraph may present the class and object structures as well as the module and process architectures of the CI).

• State the purpose of each software unit and identify the CI requirements and design decisions allocated to it.

• Identify each software unit's development status/type (such as new development, existing design or software to be reused as is, existing design or software to be reengineered, software to be developed for reuse, software planned for Build N, etc.)
  For existing design or software, the description should provide identifying information, such as name, version, documentation references, library, etc.

• e. Describe the CI's (and as applicable, each software unit's) planned utilization of computer hardware resources (such as processor capacity, memory capacity, input/output device capacity, auxiliary storage capacity and communications/network equipment capacity). The description should cover all computer hardware resources included in resource utilization requirements for the CI, in system-level resource allocations affecting the CI and in resource utilization measurement planning in the Software Development Plan (SDD).

  Include for each computer hardware resource:

  1) The CI requirements or system-level resource allocations being satisfied

  2) The assumptions and conditions on which the utilization data are based (for example, typical usage, worst-case usage, assumption of certain events)

  3) Any special considerations affecting the utilization (such as use of virtual memory, overlays, multiprocessors or the impacts of operating system overhead, library software or other implementation overhead)

  4) The units of measure used (such as percentage of processor capacity, cycles per second, bytes of memory, kilobytes per second)

  5) The levels at which the estimates or measures will be made (such as software unit, CI or executable program)

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.
