Meridian proposed solution was using a Microsoft Access database. The first part of the system had to integrate with a product called 'Teleform', which is used to scan the paper based forms into an Access database.

The QMC application would then manipulate and transform the data produced by Teleform into a more understandable format. Screens were developed toenable the users to view and modify the data before it is committed to the live system.

A number of reports were created which allows the user to request statistical information in an almost unlimited number of possible scenarios.

The system was also designed in such a way that when the next round of quality control forms are produced, the database actually creates most of the form for the engineer to help reduce the risk of human error.
