Your quality system today

Answer for how things are today. Runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.

Document control

Is there one place where the current version of every controlled document is kept?

Does every controlled document show its revision, approval and date?

Are superseded versions removed from use, including printed copies on the floor?

Can you show that the people who needed to read a revised document have done so?

Non-conformances and actions

Is every non-conformance recorded the same way, with what, where, when and who found it?

Are customer complaints logged and linked to an investigation?

Does each corrective action record a root cause, not only a fix?

Is evidence attached before a corrective action is closed?

Do you check later that closed corrective actions worked?

Suppliers and calibration

Is there an approved supplier list with the basis for each approval?

Are supplier quality problems recorded and reviewed?

Does every measuring instrument in use have a tracked calibration due date?

Can you show current calibration certificates for the instruments in use today?

Audits and records

Is there an internal audit programme with dates, and were those audits carried out?

Are training records complete for the people doing each job?

Could you produce the records an auditor asks for within the same day?

Are the findings from your last external audit closed with evidence?

Answer the questions to see your score. It updates as you go.

Method: yes counts a question in full, partly counts half and no counts nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how likely a gap is to produce an audit finding, and the score is the weighted share out of a hundred. Unanswered questions are left out.

A quality system without a quality department

Siqora runs document control, non-conformances, corrective actions and audit preparation for companies with 20 to 500 employees.

  • Real document control

    Controlled documents with real revision control and approval, so the current version is unambiguous.

  • Training acknowledgement

    Training acknowledgement shows that everyone who needed to read a document has.

  • Capture on the floor

    Non-conformances and customer complaints are captured on the floor from a phone, with photographs.

  • Evidence before closure

    Issues are routed through root cause analysis and corrective action, with evidence required before closure.

  • Suppliers, calibration, audits

    Supplier quality, calibration schedules and internal audit programmes are tracked with due dates.

  • Audit pack on demand

    Generate an audit pack on demand, containing exactly what the auditor asks for.

The problem

Quality management in smaller manufacturers runs on paper forms, a shared drive of controlled documents nobody trusts, and a spreadsheet of corrective actions.

Non-conformances are recorded inconsistently, corrective actions are closed without evidence, and document control is a version-number guessing game. Every audit becomes an emergency of reconstructing records that should have existed all along.

Who it is for

  • Manufacturers and engineering firms

    Companies of 20 to 500 employees that hold or need quality certifications, without a quality department.

  • Food producers

    Producers who need controlled documents, complaint capture and corrective actions closed with evidence.

  • Medical device makers

    Smaller device makers who need document control, calibration schedules and internal audits tracked with due dates.

Questions people actually ask

What does the free Audit Readiness Assessment cover?

It assesses you against the relevant standard: which clauses are currently evidenced, which are not, which records would fail on inspection, and the specific gaps in priority order.

How does document control work?

Documents have real revision control, approval and training acknowledgement, so the current version is unambiguous and everyone who needed to read it has.

How are non-conformances recorded?

On the floor, from a phone, with photographs. They are then routed through root cause analysis and corrective action.

Can a corrective action be closed without evidence?

No. Evidence is required before closure.

What does it cost?

349 dollars a month for up to 50 employees, 690 dollars a month for up to 200, and 1,290 dollars a month above that, with multi-site.

Are templates for our standard extra?

No. Standard-specific templates are included rather than sold separately.

Can it prepare material for an auditor?

Yes. It generates an audit pack on demand containing exactly what the auditor asks for.

Why should I trust the audit readiness check?

The score comes from your own answers, worked out in your browser. It is not an audit and is not mapped to the clauses of a particular standard; the free Audit Readiness Assessment does that, clause by clause, with the gaps in priority order.

Pricing

The assessment is free. Plans are priced by company size, with standard-specific templates included.

Assessment

Evidenced clauses, failing records and gaps, in priority order.
