| Lyons Quality Audit Tracking
System (LQATS)® is a robust, flexible, web-based solution
to gather, analyze
and
display
quality
audit results generated by staff and suppliers of a manufacturing
organization. The secured system offers staff and suppliers
real-time access to create, manage, and report audit information
in a secure data environment. LQATS gathers real time audit
information worldwide from: |
 |
Suppliers (shipment audits) |
|
Company auditors (final audits) |
|
Distribution centers |
|
Manufacturing plants |
|
LQATS is fully managed by
a company’s staff and permits
changes to system support data as business strategies change.
All system components and audit results information reside
behind the manufacturer’s data firewall, and are maintained
by a company’s staff. LQATS can be hosted behind a
company’s
firewall; fully hosted solutions are also available from
Lyons Information Systems,
Inc.® As with all of our systems, an unlimited number of users
and data collection sites are supported at no additional charge.
Our systems are supported by non-proprietary hardware and
software and managed by system administrators at each customer
site.
Quality audit and inspection information within the system
emanates from two sources: manual data entry, and electronic
data imports of new and changed information from a company’s
legacy database system. Examples of user-entered data
include audits, inspection, and company specific
information, files to make
available to users when they login such as when product specification changes
occur, news
worthy information, etc. Electronically imported data
may include any commonly used file types or other information housed in
legacy systems that need not be communicated to users after the
LQATS login process.Product suppliers, mills, distribution
centers and other supporting locations that send product to
companies using LQATS may perform their own out-going audits
prior to shipment directly from LQATS of their customers.
The system is designed to allow access and creation of product
audits and/or final inspections from outside supportive sources
prior to shipment. Quality comparisons between audits of
products shipped by a supplier, for example, and received by a
distribution location may be performed in LQATS as well. |
