Building, Improving & Enhancing Quality Systems

Why Quality is so Important

If you're reading this, there's a very good chance your job title includes the word "Quality." Whether you're a Quality Manager or a Quality Assurance Coordinator, or you're someone who has a quality focus, it goes without saying you're responsible for executing your department's quality program and seeing that your colleagues use and adhere to your quality systems.

Quality is about Proactive Measures

EnviroLogix understands what you are trying to accomplish and why it's so important. Quality impacts so many aspects of your business:

• Your brand's reputation is directly tied to how well quality assurance is carried out throughout your operations
• Your customer's expectation are always high, and customer satisfaction is critical to long-term business relationships; in this extremely competitive market, quality standards are often the most essential factors to maintaining both
• Continuous improvement: as you hold your organization to ever-tightening quality restrictions, it is essential to put in place proactive quality tools to deliver against these requirements
• Increasing delivery and throughput speeds are directly correlated to the forward-thinking countermeasures to conduct your business accurately and without error

QuickCheck Sample Program™ provides both ISO 17034-compliant reference samples, as well as a customizable dashboard with operator information, tracking, trending and notifications. QuickCheck allows you to confirm the performance of your equipment and instruments, and gain insights into operator training; giving you an accurate picture of how well individuals follow proper techniques and protocols.

We created the QuickScan™ platform with your rigorous quality requirements at heart.

With built-in inventory tracking; programmable upper and lower cutoffs along with per-matrix settings; as well as maintenance reminders and enforcement; QuickScan II supports quality goals and audit-readiness.
