4TQFlow

"Enables creation of any process or procedural document using 4 basic symbols, assigns owners of tasks, maps to clauses Regulations, Codes Of Practise, and Standards, and can generate a printed configured and controlled document to satisfy any Quality System auditor".

4TQFlow - makes process mapping and flowcharting as easy as - build a process map based on 4 simple symbols , then click a button to create a fully formatted 'procedure' mapped to regulations, codes of practise, ISO standards etc - click another button and publish your entire set of process documents to a web site - complete with automated configuration management (document control), audit planning and recording. Most sites write their "procedures" verbose, then draw a flowchart, then experience all sorts of drawing/editing issues surrounding technical  authoring. Finally they need to organise a configured version that has all the signatory records as evidence of deployment and control. 4TQFlow includes the entire process within ONE software module and with the press of a button after initial creation of the flow chart containing the process steps the "procedure"' is written! 15 minutes will create the simplest complete configured document (in your format) that meets the most stringent requirement of any ISO auditor.

4TQExplorer

"Create Explorer views that are specific to department, district or manager level using existing documentation by drag and drop linking of relevant file detail".request more details)

4TQExplorer - visually shows how all your documentation and processes interrelate making analysis and improvement much easier - allows you to create different 'views of the world' eg; by department or function, (similar to Windows Explorer folder view) for different departments and even individuals, while eliminating maintenance costs. No need to re-write all your documents, they can be left "as-is"' and viewed in 4TQ Explorer, adding new documents with 4TQFlow starts the changes needed to move forward. More details here

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

This is what will make Governance and Compliance far easier for you!

4TQPolicy

"Readily enables mapping of external views of Regulations, Codes Of Practise, and Standards to INTERNAL documentation, to allow you to easily demonstrate compliance to governance requirements."

4TQPolicy - makes process mapping of Customer Requirements, Standards, Regulations, Corporate Policies, and Strategic Objectives into an integrated suite for ease of recognition of compliance hot spots and allows for rapid gap analysis of an enterprise business management system. More details here

4TQPolicy links each of the above requirements to an internal 'policy' statement and these statements are organised under your own, coherent headings, making it easier for you to identify and resolve any conflicting requirements. Produces a comprehensive report at any time to prove your systems cover all the requirements of any of your standards.

4TQPolicy builds you the exact status of compliance based on any dates entered which will then show all your standards current at that date, which policies were in place at that time and which documents (with their revision status) met those policies. In this increasingly litigious society, with more and more accountability resting with directors and employees, 4TQPolicy makes it easier to prove compliance.

4TQPolicy can produce the "quality mandated" manual for each standard at the click of a button, (which means it is fully deployable to every desktop) and it's always up-to-date.

4TQPolicy handles change management very easily. Prior to imposition of a new or a changed set of requirements, identify exactly where the organisation will be non-compliant and implement plans to ensure compliance. 4TQ Policy is the perfect tool for planning the changes required by ISO9000-2000 or any other standard, code of practise or regulation.

4TQWebGen

"Automatically generates Intranet ready web pages containing links to all documents without any web author skills needed".

4TQWebGen - provides the tools to automatically generate all documents created and publish them in an Intranet format for ready use and deployment across an organisation WITHOUT any HTML coding, web authoring or manual linking. The system generates the HTML web pages and publishes them with all links referenced for ready access. If the desktop is connected to the network then the new or changed procedure has been "deployed to the user" and all that is then required is followup by management and supervisors through training/information sessions to ensure that newly deployed items have been acknowledged and adequate training is given. Its never sufficient to just "publish" a procedure  You need to ensure it's deployed effectively through training and instruction to meet operational and occupational health and safety standards.
