This software has been developed by QIA, and helps an organization take out the drudgery and waste that can be seen in many management systems. QIA has developed the concept of the two component process: o The first component is the “overhead” component. These are the steps necessary to make the process work, but do not they provide any value. An example would be the review and approval, and revisions control of a procedure. These are necessary overhead steps in “Document Control” that contribute to drudgery and delays. o The second component is the Value Adding component. An example of this would be the approved and correct instructions and other data that need to be transmitted to employees (for example) so they can do a good job. Interestingly, the overhead steps sap so much energy and cost, that the original value adding intent of document control is often forgotten. o QISS automates the “overhead component”, releasing people’s time to do productive and value adding activities. o QISS is a fully integrated work-flow software with e-mail notification, reminders, escalations, charts, reports, dashboards, etc. The following modules cover requirements of ISO 9001 and derivative standards:  Organization, Communications, Document Control, Records Control, Nonconformance Control, Corrective & Preventive Actions, Calibration, Maintenance, Training, Internal Audits, Management Review
