Implementing DAMAS

Date posted: October 18, 2018

 

About the DAMAS Scheme:

The Dental Appliance Manufacturers Audit Scheme (DAMAS) is the most commonly used quality system within the dental laboratory industry that provides a framework for an effective quality management system.

DAMAS provides laboratories with a set of processes that ensure a common sense approach to the management of the organisation. The system ensures consistency and improvement of working practices, which in turn should provide products and services that meet customer’s requirements.

DAMAS Implementation System:

The DAMAS team is often aware that many laboratories, although wanting to implement the DAMAS system, often struggle to put the basics of the system in place. By purchasing the implementation system, laboratories will be guided through the process of putting DAMAS in place in an easy to understand and straightforward way.

With the DAMAS Implementation System the main bulk of the procedures will be set up for you in advance as the DAMAS Procedures Manual which is the main area of the system will be compiled for you – all you need to do is fine tune it to ensure it describes what happens in your business – which saves you time!

What does the system consist off?

  • DAMAS Procedures Folder
  • DAMAS Records Folder
  • DAMAS CD
  • DAMAS Procedures Implementation Checklist
  • DAMAS Record Keeping Checklist
  • Booklet – DAMAS Explained
  • Booklet – MDD Explained

As well as having all the information you need to hand, included as part of the package is unlimited telephone/email support from the DAMAS office.
