Quality Management System

Quality work should not lose its context

A drawing defines a requirement. A process turns it into a product. People, equipment and controls determine whether that product meets the requirement every time. Artisans QMS brings the work behind those decisions into one manufacturing quality management platform.

From planning and production readiness to inspection, problem solving and improvement, teams can manage quality as connected work instead of a collection of disconnected files.

When a result changes, the whole story matters

An inspection result can point back to a drawing revision, a measuring system, a process change or an operator qualification. A supplier finding can affect an approved material. A corrective action can require a new control or work instruction. When that context sits across separate spreadsheets and folders, quality teams spend valuable time reconstructing what happened before they can decide what to do next.

Artisans QMS is organised around the relationships between requirements, risks, controls, evidence, people and decisions.

Keep the current requirement and the evidence together

Document and record management

Manage the review, approval, revision and distribution of quality documents, including drawings, specifications, procedures, work instructions, forms and customer requirements. Retain the records that show what was done, by whom and against which approved revision.

Quality training and competence

Assign role and process training, assess understanding and practical ability, and maintain an organisational skill matrix. See where employees are trained, assessed and qualified for specific operations, inspections and quality responsibilities. Completion of training and demonstrated competence remain distinct.

Build quality into the plan

APQP and risk assessment icon
01
APQP and risk assessment

Coordinate the activities, responsibilities and evidence needed for product and process readiness. Document product and process risks through FMEA and track the actions needed to address them.

Control Plan and drawing ballooning icon
02
Control Plan and drawing ballooning

Define product and process characteristics, control methods, sampling frequency and reaction plans. Identify and number drawing characteristics so requirements can be carried into inspection planning and reviewed for coverage.

PPAP icon
03
PPAP

Organise the required submission elements and supporting evidence for customer review of production part approval. Give teams a clear view of what is ready, what needs review and what is still outstanding.

Know what was checked and whether the process is holding

Inspection management icon

Inspection management

Plan and record incoming, in-process and final inspections against defined requirements. Review results, exceptions and reports with the relevant drawing and process context.

Calibration and MSA icon

Calibration and MSA

Manage equipment and gauge registers, calibration schedules, internal and external calibration records, reminders and reports. Use Measurement System Analysis to evaluate whether a measurement process is suitable for its intended use. Calibration status and measurement system capability answer different questions; both matter.

SPC icon

SPC

Monitor process measurements over time to identify signals that require investigation. Give quality and production teams the information needed to respond before variation becomes a repeated defect.

Supplier quality and audits icon

Supplier quality and audits

Plan supplier audits, document findings and track actions. Keep supplier quality evidence accessible to the teams making sourcing, incoming inspection and production decisions.

Close the issue and examine what must change

Nonconformance, CAPA and 8D icon
Nonconformance, CAPA and 8D

Record nonconformities, containment and disposition. Investigate causes, assign corrective or preventive actions and verify their effectiveness. Use 8D when a structured, cross-functional problem-solving response is needed.

4M change management icon
4M change management

Assess changes to people, machines, materials and methods before implementation. Review the possible effect on process risks, controls, inspection, training and customer requirements, then retain the approval and validation evidence.

Internal audits and management review icon
Internal audits and management review

Plan and record internal audits, findings and follow-up. Bring quality performance, recurring issues and open actions into management review so improvement is guided by evidence.

One change can touch many parts of the system

Consider a revised work instruction. The new document needs approval. The change may affect the FMEA, Control Plan or inspection method. The people performing the work may need training and reassessment. Later, an audit or customer question may require the organisation to show which revision applied and when.

Artisans QMS is designed to make those relationships visible, so teams can follow a requirement from planning to production evidence and from an issue to a verified action.

Start with the work
that needs attention now

A manufacturer may begin with calibration and inspection. Another may begin with drawing ballooning, supplier audits or quality training. The modular structure lets teams establish the workflows they need first and extend the system across planning, production and improvement over time.

Bring us a real quality workflow

Show us a drawing, a control plan, a calibration process or an issue your team is working through. We will walk through the relevant QMS capabilities and how they fit your operation.
