# NominalQC

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/561249/NominalQC

> NominalQC is quality control software for small manufacturers — machine shops, fabricators, and job shops that need to run a real ISO 9001, AS9100 or IATF 16949 quality system without enterprise QMS pricing or a six-month implementation.

Who it's for — Small shops where one person owns quality alongside three other jobs, and the current "system" is a folder of spreadsheets. If your auditor keeps flagging the same gaps — unsigned inspections, overdue calibrations, CAPAs that never verify effectiveness, no competence records — NominalQC closes them with enforcement a spreadsheet can't provide.

What makes it different — The software refuses the mistake instead of recording it. An out-of-calibration gauge can't be picked at inspection. A quality alert locks the inspection form until each inspector acknowledges it by name. A CAPA can't close without a root cause, actions, and a verified effectiveness check. Inspection plans can block a save when the sample count comes in below plan.

What it covers — Inspections with pass/fail against part tolerances, SPC with Cp/Cpk, certificates of conformance; NCRs with printable hold tags that carry a scan-to-disposition QR; CAPAs with 8D and 5-Why worksheets and a customer-ready 8D report; layered process audits to CQI-8. And the quality-system registers a registrar asks for: an internal audit programme with clause-tagged findings, management review with inputs, decisions and printed minutes, an approved supplier list with evaluations and SCARs, customer complaints with response tracking, change control with sequential approval chains, a training and competence matrix with expiry dates, quality objectives, records retention, and document control with read-and-understood by name.

Getting started — Free for one user with every feature and no time limit. Import your parts from CSV and log the first inspection the same day; most shops need no training. Team plans are flat monthly prices with no per-seat fees, and the live demo needs no signup. Support is by email from the people who built it.
