Benefits of Fractional Quality Management Plans

FQM L1 - Basic Support

The FQM L1 plan provides essential support for small businesses looking to maintain their quality management systems effectively. With a monthly QMS checkup and up to 4 hours of dedicated phone and email support, this package ensures continuous monitoring and expert advice without the cost of a full-time quality manager. It helps businesses stay compliant, identify potential issues early, and maintain streamlined processes, all while using the TQA Cloud E1 Entry-level subscription to enhance efficiency.

FQM L2 - Enhanced Support

Building on the features of the L1 plan, FQM L2 includes an additional day of dedicated advisory support, making it ideal for businesses needing more in-depth guidance. This package not only offers monthly checkups and up to 12 hours of total support but also includes strategic planning and detailed field reports. This ensures that businesses can proactively address issues, prepare for audits, and continuously improve their quality management processes. The integration with TQA Cloud further enhances the system's effectiveness by providing comprehensive, real-time management tools.

FQM L3 - Interim Quality Manager

The FQM L3 plan is perfect for businesses requiring extensive support and active involvement in their quality management systems. In addition to all the benefits of the L2 plan, it includes three extra days of ad hoc consultation support, allowing for on-site or dedicated remote work on specific tasks. This level of involvement is ideal for businesses undergoing significant changes, such as implementing new products or processes, or those with gaps in management. The L3 plan ensures thorough documentation, continuous improvement, and expert support, making it a comprehensive solution for maintaining high-quality standards and compliance.

Each of these plans leverages the power of TQA Cloud to provide a seamless, efficient, and effective quality management system, ensuring businesses can focus on their core operations while maintaining high standards of quality and compliance​
