The following newsletter outlines the news from the Superstructure Group AQD team, as at the end of October 2005.

New AQD Clients – We are 40 this month!
We have had a busy couple of months and have three new clients joining the AQD family this month. Welcome to Westjet, Etihad Airways and DHL Aviation who now take our total number of clients to 40.

Superstructure Group News – What’s in a name?
You have probably already noticed that we have a new name; as from 1st October 2005 we are now Superstructure Group Ltd and have a spanking new web site and brand overhaul. From an AQD perspective the brand change is subtle and in marketing speak “reflects our long established and trusted reputation in the market”. The new website is phase 1 only and we plan to have more support capability for our clients in phase 2 which should be with us by the end of the year; in the meantime, we would be delighted to hear any suggestions you may have for the website. The new website address is http://www.superstructuregroup.com/ but the old address will redirect to this new site automatically.

AQD Tips ’n’ Tricks

	Generating a Report of Actions showing Occurrences If you require a report that shows actions with their associated occurrence report, the best report to use is the Occurrence Status Report which can be run from the Occurrence/Investigation Search & Output tool (note; this is the same as the “Graphs and Monthly Reports” options on the AQD Navigator). If the Occurrence Status Report is run with the “Include Investigation Findings & Actions” and “Include Occurrence Description” options turned on, this report will show the associated occurrence description, investigation details and any Finding and Actions that were raised as a result of the occurrence report.

	Scored Check List When a check list is scored in AQD, a copy of the checklist layout is taken at the time the scores are entered against which all the comments and scores are recorded. Therefore, as this is a copy, if any changes are subsequently made to the original check list design (e.g. new rows added) these changes will not appear on the scored check list. If these design changes need to be reflected on the scored check list, the scored check list against the audit will need to be removed and re-linked to that audit.

	Excel Graph Output Don’t forget that whenever you use AQD to create a graph using MS Excel, you can always edit the resulting graph and underlying datasheet in Excel. This approach can be used to remove any unwanted or extraneous data form the graph when it may not be possible to eliminate the data by using the criteria options provided on the analysis tools in AQD.
