Comprehensive QMS Takes Time – Don't Fall for Quick Fixes! Why Bluestreak is the Proven Choice for Successful Businesses


In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, efficiency and precision are key. Quality Management Systems (QMS) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) play a crucial role in ensuring that operations run smoothly, products meet the highest standards, and audits are passed the first time. However, when it comes to choosing the right system, beware of quick-fix solutions that promise fast training, rapid deployment, and running your entire plant on a system that is "drop-dead easy to use." But what aren't they telling you? The real questions you should ask are: "What critical details are you hiding?" "What essential functionalities are missing?" Furthermore, consider the future: "As my business grows and evolves, how long will it be before I outgrow this system and need a more robust solution?" Remember this; Quick setup can mean Quick regrets!


The reality is that comprehensive QMS/MES takes time to learn and master. A system that promises such a short learning curve likely lacks the depth and functionality required to manage complex manufacturing processes effectively and pass audits the first time.

At Bluestreak™, we ensure our customers' success through a meticulously crafted implementation process grounded in a proven, repeatable formula that prioritizes planning, training, and continuous support. By forming a dedicated implementation team, standardizing workflows, and conducting thorough data cleansing, we help organizations integrate MES/QMS systems seamlessly. Our comprehensive training roadmap, from initial setup to go-live, ensures that employees are well-prepared and confident using the new system.

About Bluestreak™:

Bluestreak™ is a fully integrated Quality Management System (QMS), a powerful Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed for the manufacturing environment and service-based manufacturing companies ( metal-treating/powder-coating, plating, heat-treating, forging, and metal-finishing), businesses that receive customers’ parts, perform a process (service) on them, and send those parts back to the customer). Companies need MES software tailored to specific functionality and workflow needs, such as industry-specific specifications management, intuitive scheduling control for staff and machinery maintenance, and the ability to manage work orders and track real-time data. If different work centers on the production floor aren’t “speaking” to each other via the MES, the data loses value and becomes disjointed or lost in disparate silos.


Bluestreak | Bright AM™ is an MES + QMS software solution specifically designed to manage and optimize the unique requirements of Additive Manufacturing’s production of parts and powder inventory usage.
