Services

In today’s aggressive profit-driven world, organizations are continually searching for the singular advantage that will provide the momentum necessary to catapult them to the forefront of their industry.

At Quality Associates International, we have developed our services to meet the ever-changing quality, reliability and business demands of companies worldwide. Today, on any given continent, forward minded organizations are taking advantage of the various quality disciplines that comprise the core of our quality, reliability and integrated management systems.

Quality Associates Specialization

The demands of ever-increasing production output and ever-shrinking project timelines has put an evident burden on the personnel responsible for quality design and product development. More and more, the specialization required to accurately and effectively apply quality, reliability and design tools has become lost in increasing demands and decreasing resources. Understanding that successful businesses are multi-faceted, QAI has developed unique service sectors to meet all of the requirements of progressive organizations.

Our Consulting services provide specialized development and implementation of quality and reliability disciplines for the requirements of your organization. Ranging from development of Integrated Management Systems to specialized applications of the various Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) tools, our team of experts can identify and tailor a strategy assured to fill the gap between current business objective and required business results. Taking full advantage of these tools in an intelligently crafted plan brings greater visibility to the areas requiring attention, while conversely reducing the need to work on the trivial many. This results in quicker response to market needs and faster product and service development time.

Facilitation services can greatly impact design team productivity. Our facilitation experts are experienced in the understanding and implementation of the quality tools necessary for effective risk mitigation and resulting quality assurance. Our experts lead teams quickly and efficiently to previously undiscovered risk, thereby enabling accurate translation of regulatory, industry and performance requirements into superior product, process, and service performance. Linking the outputs of quality planning tools provides additional benefits not achieved by just completing the forms. The intelligent flow of information between tools guarantees the Voice of the Customer (VOC) is heard throughout product and process development and incorporated into the product and service provided. Facilitation can be requested for Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Planning, Test Planning and Optimization, to name a few.

Our Training courses and workshops have been developed with the understanding that not only do our clients need to recognize the principles associated with their industry, but they need to be able to incorporate these tools into everyday quality and reliability practice as well. Our trainers use current events and examples tailored to the specific needs of our customers for effective conveyance and immediate implementation of the tools and techniques demonstrated. Our training topics range from simple awareness and management overviews to comprehensive expert practitioners training and certification. The QAI certification processes for Six Sigma, Supplier Development and Back to Basics are used worldwide by many large and small companies alike. The QAI intellectual content has been hailed as one of the best values in training available today. Our training catalog consists of over 40 of the most relevant topics integral to product and service quality.
