FARMINGDALE,
NY (11-26-05): EtQ,
Inc. has announced that
the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has selected EtQ's
Quality Management System
to help achieve compliance
for its quality and compliance
initiatives.
After an extensive review,
the FAA chose EtQ's
Web-browser-based software
system for its ability to
manage and track all quality-related
issues within its organization.
As a result, the FAA's
Logistics and Flight Standards
groups have moved from a
paper-based, manual system
to a completely automated,
Web-based system. This move
allows for stricter compliance
to all company initiatives
and overall improved productivity.
The aviation industry is
becoming more and more complex.
With more carriers, outsourced
maintenance and more types
of airplanes from more manufacturers,
the need for the FAA to
have an automated system
to manage quality and compliance
has become increasingly
important. The FAA had a
simple goal- make it understandable,
and make it powerful. EtQ's
integrated system allowed
them to build a quality
system that isn't just a
series of individual processes,
but a fully integrated system
that allows the FAA to tie
processes together, standardize
processes across multiple
facilities and make for
increased availability of
information across the organization.
EtQ's Quality Management
System is a fully configurable,
Web-based system that allows
for the management and tracking
of all quality and compliance
initiatives such as Document
Control, Corrective Action,
Audits, Complaints Handling,
Nonconformance, Training
and many more. EtQ's software
solutions are designed on
the premise that companies
have unique needs and are
best served by a product
that can capture the business
process, rules and information
to automate its procedures
and one that can be easily
configured, without programming.
EtQ is pleased to have the
FAA join its growing customer
base, which has soared to
more than 300,000 users
and 700 installations worldwide
and includes some of the
top Fortune 100 companies.
