Our Services
Quality Assurance Consulting Services
Consulting & Certification Preparation
Support in establishing and improving management systems, including preparation for certification to relevant standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100 for aerospace, ISO 13485 for medical devices, ISO 14001 for environmental management and other standards based on your organization’s needs.
We begin by assessing the current situation, identifying gaps, mapping processes and defining responsibilities. We then build a practical system that fits the company’s day-to-day operations.
Outsourced Quality Management
Ongoing quality management provided by experienced quality managers, with a flexible scope tailored to your company’s needs. The quality manager works with your team on agreed days, addressing the quality system, suppliers, corrective actions, audits, customer requirements, procedures and improvement initiatives.
Your organization benefits from both the on-site quality manager and the knowledge, backup and experience of SMART QA behind them. This provides access to broader professional support while engaging a quality manager on a part-time basis.
Professional Training
We provide a range of professional training programs in quality assurance.
Electronics training includes IPC 610 and IPC 620, ESD awareness, SMT fundamentals and practical qualification of soldering and wiring personnel.
Training in quality awareness and the requirements of standards such as AS9100, ISO 13485 and ISO 9001.
