Companies interested in maintaining good quality control, should have a Quality System equal to the call outs in this basic Q. C. Manual , as a mininum. This is an excellent starter system and will adjust easily to most any product or service company. It is not over complicated and you do not have to be a Government contractor to use it. You can simply slip your company name in, and you have a manual that will help qualify your company to prime contractors, commercial customers and to the Government direct, however, you'll have to implement the call outs in the system first. You can delete sections that don't pertain to you, and add new ones following our easy format. We think this is a simple, low cost, straight forward system and we hope you agree. It has 70 pages with 10 sections, including Forms, Charts and example Tags, covering all areas of control.
