Total Quality Management

As a consulting firm, QSI provides end-to-end quality management services, an approach we call Total Quality Management™. Within Total Quality Management, we guide you every step of the way, from writing your QMS manual and procedures, conducting internal audits, and ensuring you meet industry and regulatory compliance. We work with companies – no matter your company’s size – to deliver a proven model on your path to gaining or maintaining your certification.

Our Total Quality Management approach includes these main services:

i
Development of QMS manual, procedures, and supporting documentation to assist in gaining or maintaining your certification
Supplying our web-based technology – called the Integrity Management System ® (or IMS ®) – as a resource to house all your documentation, with training and support

Gap analyses to determine where you are in relation to where you need to be
k
Resolution of certification or audit nonconformities (API, ISO, or other)

Gap Analysis

The gap analysis is a powerful systematic examination of what a company already has in place and where the “gaps” exist. This technique can be used in a wide variety of applications and is typically used to specifically detail all facets of existing operations versus identifying where processes lack sufficient information or practices to comply with specified or targeted requirements – where you are versus where you need to be.

QSI conducts open, yet structured, gap analyses and involves input from senior level management and other key personnel – no matter your type of product, service, or industry. Our gap analyses help to determine the level of compliance for requirements such as:

♦  Regulatory compliance
♦  Environmental management system compliance
♦  Industry, national, international, or geographical compliance

Benefits

A gap analysis can also be used to provide a better focus for existing activities such as training or supplier relationships. It can be used to:

♦  Assist in implementing change
♦  Identify areas for improvement in existing practices
♦  Build trust
♦  Provide alignment of philosophies

Integration

Companies frequently operate under separate management systems for multiple sites and/or geographical locations. A manufacturing company, for instance, may have ten international locations, each with a separate quality system. This may also be true of their health & safety and environmental systems. This kind of an approach often leads to process fragmentation, internal and intra-company miscommunication, and inconsistency in what products or services a company offers its customers.

QSI helps businesses to create an integrated approach to management system deployment throughout their organization, regardless of the number of locations involved.

REG-APPS™

REG-APPS™ is a collection of modules to ensure the organization identified, accesses and evaluates laws and regulations that apply to all aspects of its activities, products, and services. Identifying these laws and regulations helps to evaluate their potential impacts on the company and its activities, products, and services. It includes features to assign and provide reviews, assign requirements and permits, monitor specific conditions, assign responsibility, and monitor compliance. REG-APPS™ can address compliance issues for a single company; a company with multiple locations in various geographical locations, and a company that has multiple projects (e.g. Oil & Gas).
