Company
Outline & Market
To
provide a quality drawing office service to engineering companies.
Customers
fall into two categories.
A)
Small
companies without CAD operator(s). Engineering controls by final clients
are increasingly asking for CAD drawings for proposals and/or as built
records. Normally, company’s employing 4 to 12 personnel cannot justify
the employment of a full time Draughtsman.
B)
Companies
with over 12 / 15 staff may employ 1 / 2 or more CAD Technicians. However,
because of non uniform rate of order intake they often need an over spill
capacity to cope with the production of drawings.
The
market I am working for falls into either of the above categories.
Outline
of Documented Quality System
The
system is designed to keep a traceable record of all telephone calls,
faxes, messages, e- mails, orders, order acknowledgements, quotes,
correspondence, and records of meetings in relation to any contract which
Park Engineering has been involved in. These records to be kept in a
neat, logical and in chronological order so that an outsider could
understand them and carry on with the business.

An
up to date quotation register (spreadsheet) exists which allows the quick
finding of any previously sent quotes. Once an order is confirmed the
quote is given a job. No. (It is understood that some clients do not
always supply order nos. In an instance of this nature the client will be
faxed (sent) a confirmation of conversation with all the order
information.) The job no. is the same as the
Invoice No., which is used at the end of the contract. At this time a job
card envelope is raised. This job card has all the contract information
i.e. start and proposed completion date. It also has a section for
telephone messages, job progress details and technical queries. All
relevant hard copy information is kept inside this job envelope. Drawings
to be numbered with the first three digits of the customer name i.e.
Brown: Bro. 1-01, 02 etc. second job for Brown would be Bro. 2-01. All
drawings checked by marking of prints system i.e. green for OK and red for
“to be altered.” At this time, final invoice to be raised and handed
over, or sent to customer along with copies of checked drawings.
