Tampa, FL – Aug. 7, 2006 --  Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, announced today that MPC Products Corporation has added Pilgrim’s Q&MIS WebCAR component to its already-diverse portfolio of Pilgrim solutions.  MPC, a leader in the aerospace and defense manufacturing industry, will employ WebCAR primarily to enable its suppliers to more quickly respond to corrective action requests, thereby enhancing overall product and service quality.

With the addition of WebCAR to MPC’s portfolio of Pilgrim solutions, MPC anticipates a number of improvements to its existing corrective action procedures -- improvements that will drive significant cost savings in terms of administration and overall operations.  Primarily, MPC suppliers will be able to provide more timely responses to corrective action requests. Through electronic data sharing, MPC also can reduce time spent on manual data entry, reduce the risk of human error, and gain immediate visibility into the status of correction action requests and resolution, thus reducing the overall cycle of corrective action process.   

“Companies that have implemented Pilgrim’s Q&MIS WebCAR system have witnessed dramatic increases in the efficiency by which they are able to search for supplier rating details and approved supplier data,” said Prashanth Rajendran, Pilgrim’s Chief Operating Officer.  “With the deployment of the Q&MIS WebCAR solution, MPC can expect to gain enhanced visibility of its current suppliers and decrease its problem resolution time."

MPC has been using Pilgrim’s Q&MIS solution since early 2002, and has vast experience with the software, already operating virtually all Q&MIS modules – Audit/Survey (AS), Calibration System (CS), Maintenance System (MS), Document Control (DC), Internal Focus (IF), Supplier Focus (SF) and the IF/SF ERP Link, which integrates data between MPC’s ERP system and Pilgrim’s Supplier Focus and Internal Focus modules.
