The SBS QMS Suite is composed of five interrelated software modules designed to enhance Quality compliance efficiency. 1) The SBS Quality Database includes tools for managing CAPA and 8D corrective actions, overseeing nonconformance issues, conducting risk analyses such as FMEA and SWOT, handling various audit management needs, and ensuring Environmental Health and Safety (EHS/HSE) compliance. 2) SBS Ground Control focuses on managing employee training through a Learning Management System (LMS), offering self-paced training options, and providing document control features. 3) SBS Asset Tracking Database oversees calibrated equipment, preventive maintenance schedules, and comprehensive asset inventory management. 4) The SBS Inspection Database captures and records inspection data for incoming materials, in-process checks, and final product assessments, allowing for the generation of real-time SPC charts, development of inspection and control plans, and archiving data for future statistical evaluations. 5) The SBS Vendor Management maintains an approved vendor list (AVL), formulates vendor qualification plans, and tracks the qualification history of suppliers. Each of these modules may be purchased individually or in any combination to meet your needs. On-premise and cloud-based options are available. Free demos are available for download or contact us for a cloud-based demo.
