Oxebridge Quality Resources - ISO 9001 and AS9100 Implementation

Winter Haven FL — Oxebridge Quality Resources International has radically simplified pricing of its ISO 9001, AS9100 and other implementation programs through a “Fair and Honest Pricing” structure which includes all expenses in a single line-item, fixed fee.

“An analysis of traditional consultants’ quotes and contracts revealed that the status quo is to confuse clients with a tangle of fees, expenses and hidden costs,” Christopher Paris, Oxebridge’s founder and VP Operations said. “In our tradition of breaking from the mold, we decided to make things simple for potential customers.”

The new Fair and Honest quotations present a single number as the fee for a given implementation program, which includes all expenses, and which is fixed and cannot be increased. In addition, Oxebridge keeps costs low by maintaining a lower day rate than competing consultants, and only calculating expense costs for travel, rental car and lodging, as needed. In keeping with a policy set in 1999, Oxebridge does not expect clients to pay for minor incidentals such as meals, phone calls, copies, airport parking or even travel time.

New quotations now go out with a single line-item cost which includes an estimate of expenses in the fee; if Oxebridge needs to do more time than expected, or if expense costs go up, Oxebridge absorbs the difference, and does not pass the difference onto clients.

“We have eradicated the open-ended contract and hidden fees that confuse clients,” Mr. Paris said. “Companies hiring Oxebridge know exactly what they will be paying, without any question or lack of clarity.”

Washington DC — SaiTech, Inc. has been recommended for ISO 9001:2008 registration by Platinum Registration, an ANAB accredited quality management system certification body. SaiTech successfully passed its initial ISO 9001 registration audit after a compressed Rapid ISO 9001 Implementation Program by Oxebridge, which condensed the already-rapid implementation steps to fit within a six-week period.

The Oxebridge implementation was begun on June 1 and concluded on July 10th; the company had no previous quality management system documentation in place, and despite the compressed time scale, Oxebridge implemented a custom system without use of boilerplate documents.

Platinum Registration, of Denver CO, found no nonconformities during the initial assessment, and recommended SaiTech for full ISO 9001 registration, pending a review of the auditor’s report and internal paperwork requirements by Platinum. Receipt of the official ISO 9001 certificate is expected in 2 - 3 weeks.

SaiTech is a Washington DC based IT services company that supports NASA and other government agency programs and contracts; it acts as both prime and subcontractor for various contracts. The ISO 9001 scope include SaiTech’s facility in Pasadena CA, as well as its Washington DC office.

Oxebridge has offered 40-day “Rapid Implementations” for ISO 9001, AS9100 and other standards for years, but typically client companies opt to extend the 40-day program to accommodate scheduling or other factors. SaiTech chose to compress the implementation to a true 30-day program, challenging Oxebridge’s Implementation Specialists to deliver on its marketing promises.

Bay St. Louis MS — NVision Solutions, Inc. has signed with Oxebridge for a Rapid AS9100 Implementation, to begin immediately. Located at the NASA Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, NVision provides geospatial technology solutions for NASA and other agencies such as the U.S. Naval  Oceanographic Office. The scope of NVision’s AS9100 program will include design and development of both hardware and software, as well as light manufacturing.

Oxebridge’s expertise in aerospace quality management systems allowed it to provide NVision to quote the company an ISO 9001:2008 implementation, and then include AS9100 at no additional charge. The AS9100 implementation for NVision’s software services will be done in accordance with AS9006.

NSF has been selected as the third party certification body for NVision’s quality system. An audit by NSF is expected in December of 2009. NSF is accredited by ANAB to conduct AS9100 compliance auditing.
