FMEA/ /Control Charts/Quality Tools
In today’s world, ensuring high levels of quality is imperative for a company to succeed. Total Lean Management (TLM) Software comes complete with the quality management system (QMS) software tools you need to identify and mitigate risk, reduce costs and eliminate waste thus ensuring quality is addressed at each stage of the New Product Introduction (NPI) process to include:
Sales Order Software
Whether your organization is trying to meet the requirements of ISO 13485, or ISO 9001, both require some kind of documented review before committing to supply products and services to your customer.
In addition, the Sales Order is also an important trigger in any material management system for other activities such as purchase orders or work orders as the company manages its own supply and demand dance with its customers, vendors, and production departments as applicable.
Non-Conforming Materials
Cost Savings from reducing wasted resources.
Better Customer Satisfaction.
Lower Risk from the impact of non-conformances.
Inspections Module
Inspections can play a key role in your overall quality plan for a given part, and with TLM Fusion Technology, Inspections can be linked to all the other areas of your quality management system that can affect making inspection activity easier, faster and more accurate.
These links include:
- Importing Lot, Serial, Packslip, and other Purchase Order Data for easy drop down selection.
- Importing PO data from organic PO records in TLM, or PO data imported from ERP such as Epicor or any other accounting ERP system.
- Inspection results can be linked to Non-conforming material reports when neccessary.
Work Orders
The TLM Work Order Software module has plenty of features to help you manage whatever level of detail your operations require that add value to raw materials or components and keeps track of everything related to doing this work.
Once set up, operators can simply scan in and out of jobs and TLM keeps track of work order activities to include multiple operators on jobs simultaneously.
Deviation Software
Deviations from the approved procedures in your document management system can potentially affect quality, and therefore, regulatory compliance. Also called out-of-specification (OOS) results, deviations can occur during raw material and finished product acceptance, sampling and testing, manufacturing, or product distribution.
Purchase Orders
With TLM Purchase Orders you can:
- Link to your Approved Supplier list in Contact Manager.
- Import ship to and bill to information.
- List carrier, terms, and account numbers.
- Track Lot and Serial Numbers.
- Links to Receiving Inspections.
- List carrier, terms, and account numbers.
- Make partial receipts.
- Integrated Budgeting.
Equipment (CMMS / TPM) Calibration
When production or testing equipment plays a role in your final product, it is critical to keep that equipment calibrated against a dependably-known and unvarying measure.
With repeated use, all equipment degrades with respect to its accuracy and precision, and getting the timing right for maintenance and calibration activities makes a huge difference in avoiding non-conformances as well as managing resources and reducing costs.

There is Only One Type of Quality Management System
YOURS!
Over the last 20 years TLM has discovered a very basic truth when it comes to information management systems such as your eQMS, no two companies have the exact same needs.
In fact, the two biggest risks in the software selection process is either selecting software that is not flexible enough to manage information that is unique, and important to your workflow, thus forcing work arounds, or other concessions that effectively add waste to your business.
The other mistake is getting stuck with comprehensive, but inflexible quality management solutions due to their web based cloud hosting design, which forces a one size fits all approach to meeting customer needs.
And while one size might fit some, it might not fit all your needs when in the long run your understanding of those needs evolves and improves.
Total Lean Management Software, by definition, recognizes this fact, and addresses quality management solutions through a dual technology, upstream / downstream user landscape approach to meeting the needs of both your upstream and downstream user types. This is combined with our tiered approach to addressing newly discovered customer needs, making sure the software works in alignment with your business systems the day after your purchase, and for all the years ahead.
These measures include:
Custom fields Allows you to adapt the software to your company’s terminology.
System Settings Allows you to choose which features are applied to your process.
Rapid update cycles Incorporating employee feedback into the continuous improvement cycle creates a synergistic effect on moral, engagement, and productivity.
Development Projects This capability provides insurance that your system will never leave you stuck after discovering unknown needs after implementation.
High levels of interlinking By implementing and combining modules in way that might be unique to your business or work flows.
World class customer support Evolution is a team effort, and the whole team behind TLM enjoys helping companies comply with regulations, manage risk, continuously improve, and maintain a steady growth rate.
Help Files can be Linked to your Controlled Work Instructions This unique TLM feature allows you to link individual screens in TLM to your own controlled procedures or work instructions for that area of the software (if needed).
