Vol. 1, No. 8

Quality Workbench Professional from PQ Systems eliminates the confusion of paper trails, duplicate copies, and costly distribution forever, and gives instantaneous electronic distribution of controlled documents. This capability, key to compliance requirements for ISO 9000, QS-9000, and other standards, also reduces frustration over lost paper documents and time-consuming filing of outdated documents.

Since the program works through e-mail messaging, it enhances opportunities for staff awareness and involvement. It assures that each version represents the most current changes, and elminates system bottlenecks and logjams.

Documents that are incorporated into this module have the same high levels of security that other components of the Quality Workbench Professional system offer. Access privileges are determined by those responsible for maintaining the system, and documents are distributed via e-mail for review and update. Users can also view documents via their web browsers.

"This module represents a vital part of a quality management system," says Marilou Jewett, sales representative for Quality Workbench. "Day-to-day improvements are made and documented, and this helps reduce job rework in an organization," she points out. Customers especially appreciate the way the document control module links to the audits, nonconformities, and customer care modules to provide a complete compliance solution.
