Quality Metrics Development
Appropriate quality metrics underlie any an effective QA system.
We will develop and implement:
• Quality metrics
• Cost of Quality (COQ) System
• Qualimetry & Control Models
Guidance for the QA Standards Certification
We will guide your organisation through the process of international quality standards certification.
Certification itself is only the final and formal stage of the sequence of steps:
• Analysis of the existing quality system
• Adaptation of the quality system to the requirements of a specific quality standard
• QA procedures and working instructions creation
• QA training for high management, middle management and employees
• Simulation of the certification exam
• Participation in certification
We’ve guided dozens of organizations through the process of certification:
Our Expertise
• ISO 9000 v. 2000
• TL 9000
• CMM
• QS 9000
• GAMP
• GMP
• FDA / MCA
Software Quality Assurance
Since 1995, Software Quality Assurance (SQA) has become one of our leading QA services. Our SQA experts have defined and established software QA systems, provided guidance to corporate managers and support to managers of software projects. Our experts are incorporated in organisations’ QA teams, where they help to develop QA methodologies and techniques, including compilation of projects management plans and software quality plans, establishment of software metrics systems, configuration management and software development processes auditing. Our experts are well known in guiding organisations through the ISO 9001 certification process with expansion to ISO 9000-3, and recently also through CMM qualification process.

Achievement of the goals defined by a company’s quality assurance strategy is inseparable from the application of the modern organisational methods. Application of organisational methods allows performing an accurate analysis and characterisation of a company. Our experts gained their industrial expertise from dozens projects ensuring the maximum productivity improvement by implementation of the appropriate organisational methods.
In close cooperation with your company’s decision makers our organisational methods team will determine the major targets and will help you to analyse and establish:
• Organisations’ Strategy and Goals

Suppliers Past Performance
Confidence in a prospective contractor’s performance is an important factor in making a best value selection. Our experts will evaluate a prospective contractor’s performance on recently completed or ongoing contracts, and will create a data base for gathering of the Past Performance Information (PPI). PPI data base is very useful both for selection itself and for increasing contractors motivation to improve their performance. After analysing your requirements and assessing contractors’ performance with the help of the PPI data base, our experts will give you detailed recommendations for the best value selection.
