| Quality Assurance
We could say we wrote the book on Quality
Assurance.....but we'll let the book speak for
itself.
We can assist you in the following areas: |
 |
-
Quality Measurement Systems. We
develop nonconformance recording and data base systems that allow
our clients to identify dominant nonconformances and adverse quality
trends. Our systems can be developed using either Excel or
Access software, with automatic drop down menus, client-defined
fields, and automatic Pareto analysis chart generation. Our
systems meet the requirements of MIL-STD-1520C, MIL-Q-9858,
ISO-9000, and Boeing's D1-9000 (Revision
A).
-
Systemic
Continuous Improvement. Our systemic
continuous improvement program helps organizations identify quality
management improvement opportunities. The program typically
begins with a one-week analysis of the organization's strengths and
weaknesses, compliance to applicable requirements, and improvement
opportunities. The analysis concludes with a comprehensive
report and presentation that outlines findings and presents a
recommended improvement roadmap. J.H. Berk and Associates can
assist clients in follow-on implementation activities, or clients
may opt to implement improvement recommendations
independently.
-
Focused Product and Process Improvements. Our focused product and
process improvement programs improve product-specific designs and
processes. These
efforts are performed in conjunction with in-house teams consisting
of manufacturing, engineering, quality, and procurement
representatives.
Product improvement programs identify all quality shortfalls
and required corrective actions. Our support includes
designed experiments, fault tree analysis, Pareto analysis, failure
modes and effects analysis, and other activities to identify
process, tooling, design, supplier, acceptance, and other
shortfalls.
-
Workmanship Standards Development and Training.
We can rapidly develop product-specific workmanship standards.
Our digital-imaging-based approach provides easily-understood,
comprehensively-illustrated English-and-Spanish workmanship
standards in days (not weeks or months). J.H. Berk and
Associates can also provide employee workmanship standards training
(including "train the trainer" programs). We can frequently
secure state funding for your training investment.
-
Audit Preparation Support. Facing a DCMAO,
Boeing, or other customer quality audit? Our Audit Preparation
Support approach assesses your compliance with all customer-specific
requirements, identifies required improvements, and (if necessary)
assists in corrective action implementation.
-
Document Control Systems. We
can assess your document control system (including compliance with
applicable customer configuration management requirements). We
will help you define and implement improvements that will assure
appropriate engineering change evaluation and compliance with all
customer
requirements.
-
MRB Management. Is your MRB
crib overflowing? Do rejected items take up permanent
residence in MRB? We can help you clear your existing MRB
inventory and implement a management approach that will assure a
48-hour MRB turnaround time.
-
Procedure Generation. We can
help you rapidly generate an ISO-compliant quality manual and
procedures, or upgrade existing procedures to meet customer
requirements.
