Quality Systems
A quality system is a documented system that you put in place to manage the processes that affect quality, where 'quality' is defined as meeting expectations and consistently delivering what you promise.
Essentially a business management system with customer satisfaction at the forefront, a quality system encompasses the planning, documentation, and control of your everyday business processes, audits to ensure you do what you say you do and maintain compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, and reviews to monitor and measure performance. It also helps you to identify opportunities for improvements to procedures, processes, and systems.
No matter what industry you are in, who your clients are, or how your business currently operates, an effective quality management system can revolutionize the way you do business and enhance both your reputation and your profitability.

Program Funding
Profit Miners has a long history of successfully helping clients capture incentives, grants, tax credits, and other kinds of offset funding for a variety of local, state, and federal funding agencies.
Eligible company initiatives typically include adopting new technologies, implementing Lean initiatives, developing or improving quality management systems, and training initiatives to upgrade employee skills.
Funding assistance programs favor these kinds of activities as economic development initiatives since they lead to enhanced competitiveness and contribute to company growth.
Situations that typically qualify for some form of funding assistance include:
- When a business is being adversely affected by foreign or out-of-state competitors
- If a company experiences falling sales due to the onslaught of foreign competition
- If upgrading employee skills would demonstrably improve company performance or increase employee retention
- When ISO, CE or other registration is required by customers or international markets
- When employee training provides enhanced skill sets that are transferable, or lead to an industry-recognized credential or certification.
- Creation of jobs, or preventing loss of jobs, due to a possible facility closing or changing technology.
- Creation of jobs as a result of a company relocating, or expanding into a state, or starting a business in a state.
- If a company provides critical services or goods to the Department of Defense.
An extensive array of funding programs is available to most types of businesses and manufacturers in particular. Taking advantage of these can significantly reduce or even cover the complete cost of implementing quality management systems training for its employees.
