Quality Management

WSC's ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System is continuously improved — providing a framework that ensures consistent delivery of high-quality simulation products and services. The QMS governs all aspects of WSC's operations, from agile product development through rigorous project delivery and post-delivery customer support.

QMS foundations:
🔄
Continual improvement

The catalyst driving the quality program forward — embedded in every process, product, and customer interaction.

Agile R&D practices

Customer collaboration and iterative product development for innovative, high-quality outcomes delivered efficiently.

📋
Rigorous project management

Well-defined, repeatable simulator project processes from design through factory and site acceptance testing.

⚠️
Risk-based thinking

Proactive identification and mitigation of risks across all project and product development activities.

🤝
Customer collaboration

Responsive, collaborative customer interaction and support throughout the project lifecycle and beyond delivery.

Agile R&D

Rapid, Responsive Product Development

Agile practices
Customer collaboration and iterative development — enabling WSC to maintain a leading role in power-plant simulation

WSC's agile R&D practices emphasize customer collaboration and iterative product development — providing innovative, high-quality products and services more efficiently, cost-effectively, and in a more timely manner than through traditional methods. The rapid-response approach to meeting changing customer requirements enables WSC to maintain a leading role in power-plant simulation and Simulation Assisted Engineering (SAE).

Simulator Projects

Well-Defined, Repeatable Project Processes

While agile practices benefit commercial product development, simulator projects employ additional traditional and systematic processes to meet the specific needs of simulation customers — using a well-defined and repeatable set of iterative phases with continuous customer feedback throughout.

Customer engagement throughout:
Continuous status & progress reporting

Detailed status and progress reporting provides continuous feedback to customers throughout the simulation project — no surprises at delivery.

Collaborative design & development

WSC engineers work closely with customers during project design and development phases — ensuring the delivered simulator meets exact specifications and expectations.

Factory & site acceptance testing

Joint acceptance testing — both at WSC's facility (FAT) and on-site at the customer facility (SAT) — verifies performance before and after delivery.

Post-delivery expertise & support

WSC is happy to provide further expertise to customers post-delivery — through staff augmentation, remote support, and ongoing maintenance services.

🎯
"As WSC, Inc. moves forward, we will continuously strive to improve our processes, products, and services to meet our customers' needs in the evolving power-plant simulation and engineering industry."
