Quality Assurance Reports

“Cody Builders Supply has an in-depth and robust quality system. No holes or gaps were identified, and it was evident that the quality system is functioning because the information was contained in binders that had to be retrieved from work spaces and the shop floor, rather than electronic means that are not visible to shop personnel.”
J. Troy McMurtrey
Atlas Corporate NDT Level III
“QMS documented process for generating NCR’s specifically advises that all employees can generate an NCR. This results in the generation of a number of process and procedure NCR’s, including both failures to follow processes and documentation regarding reasons to review processes for effectiveness. Management works through these NCR’s seeing several benefits deriving from the effort.”
