Document Control and Compliance Management at Amtrol-Alfa

This case study details how Amtrol-Alfa, a manufacturer of returnable pressure tanks, addresses the challenges of maintaining ISO 9001 compliance and document control. The company sought a solution to ensure legal compliance and streamline the organization of drawings and documents. Initially, they explored Cyco Software's TeamWork but transitioned to Meridian due to its superior flexibility and integration capabilities with AutoCAD and SolidWorks. Since migrating to Meridian in 2005, Amtrol-Alfa has utilized the software to manage critical documentation, including regulatory compliance, commercial, and engineering documents. The case study outlines the benefits realized, such as improved document version control, efficient searching, and enhanced auditing processes. The integration of Meridian has significantly improved operational performance, allowing quick access to both current and previous versions of essential documents. Furthermore, Amtrol-Alfa plans to expand the use of Meridian into additional departments to further enhance their document management capabilities.
