How eLeaP QMS Works for Oil & Gas

eLeaP is the only QMS where enterprise Learning Management is native to the platform: not integrated, not bolt-on, not a separate external system. Designed for oil and gas manufacturers and service suppliers operating under API Spec Q1, API Spec Q2, and customer-specific quality requirements. → Get a Demo or start a free trial.

How It Works:
→ Approve a work instruction. Training is requested automatically when the document becomes Effective.
→ Implement a process change. Impacted documents are revised and sent to training as part of the change.
→ Resolve a nonconformance. Events are triaged, investigated, and closed with verified actions and an effectiveness check.
→ Act on an audit finding. When a finding identifies a training gap, the LMS assigns targeted training to the right people, and completion records link back to the finding. All traceable. All in one place. Ready for quality audits and customer inspections. One platform holds the procedures, records, and training for organizations with Q1 product operations, Q2 service operations, or both.

Document Control and Records Management

Controlled procedures, work instructions, quality plans, inspection records, and customer-required documentation, managed in one audit-ready system with version control and training requested automatically when a document becomes Effective.

Document Control for API Quality Programs

API Spec Q1 applies to organizations that supply products to the petroleum and natural gas industry, and API Spec Q2 applies to service supply organizations. Both depend on documented procedures and records that are controlled, current, and retrievable. eLeaP controls the full document lifecycle, from Draft through Effective to Obsolete, with electronic signatures on review and approval and a complete audit trail. Effective documents change only through a revision, which creates a new version, and a constant document number option keeps document IDs stable while the version suffix changes.

When a document becomes Effective, training can be requested automatically, and a Training tab on the document shows completion stats. Document templates generate Draft documents from standard formats, one at a time or in bulk. When an auditor or customer quality representative requests records, everything is in one place, versioned, and immediately available. Learn more about document management software. Get a Demo.

Design and Development Controls

Requirements, design inputs, outputs, reviews, verification, and validation records, with full traceability for engineered products.

Design Controls for Engineered Products

eLeaP manages design control documentation through every phase, tracing requirements through design inputs, outputs, verification, and validation in one connected record. Phases can require formal approval, design reviews create verification records, and module terminology follows your project’s industry setting.

Import requirement tables from Excel, CSV, or Word, or use Generate with AI to draft a traced chain that you review and refine. Related Items connect design items to the documents and risks they depend on, and completed design items can be published to training. Get a Demo.

Risk Management with Integrated Training

Risk assessments, control measures, and failure mode analysis, linked to the documents, design items, and events that address them.

Control measures record their effect on risk, and the Risk Profile shows the residual risk for each harm. Risk reviews, control measures, and CAPA linkage are maintained in one traceable system, ready for quality audits and customer inspections.

Risk-Based Thinking for Safety-Critical Operations

eLeaP’s risk management module supports identifying, evaluating, controlling, and monitoring risks in one place. Risk labels can be customized per project, and an optional FMEA mode supports failure mode analysis. Related Items connect each risk to the documents, design items, and events that address it, so the evidence stays together. Get a Demo.

Management of Change with Training Follow-Through

Change requests and change orders for products, processes, and procedures, with impacted documents, risks, tasks, and approvals tracked in one place.

Changes to products, processes, and procedures need to be assessed, approved, and verified. eLeaP manages change requests from justification and impact through approval and change orders, with revised procedures sent to training from the document record.

Managing Change to Products, Processes, and Procedures

Each change request captures the title, description, justification, impact, owner, and due date. It links the impacted documents and design items, the related risks, and a task list, and it moves through an approval workflow that records who approved what and when. Approved changes continue through change orders.

When a revised procedure is approved, training can be requested automatically, so the people affected are trained on what changed. Training completion links back to the document record as evidence. Get a Demo.

CAPA, NCR, and Nonconformance Management

Nonconformances, complaints, incidents, and audit findings managed through customizable templates, automatic triage, root cause investigation, and verified actions, with training linked to the result.

Nonconformance Management for Field and Shop Quality

eLeaP’s events management module handles nonconformances, customer complaints, incidents, and CAPAs using templates you configure, each with its own phases and completion gates. Automatic triage routes events to No Action, Correction, A3 Investigation, CAPA, or Escalate, and recurrence detection escalates repeat events to CAPA using thresholds you set.

Investigations capture contributing factors and root cause methods, including 5-Why, Fishbone, Fault Tree, and Kepner-Tregoe. Actions are classified as Corrective, Preventive, or Containment, with evidence attachments, verification, and effectiveness checks. When an investigation identifies a competency gap, the CAPA links to the training record that addresses it. All records are maintained and traceable for quality audits. Get a Demo.

Supplier Quality Management

Supplier policies, questionnaires, file requirements, and audits, with review and approval workflows and a built-in Supplier role for external access.

Define what each supplier must provide based on supplier type and risk level. Suppliers complete assigned questionnaires and upload requested files without seeing internal records, and audit findings and corrective actions are tracked in a system directly linked to your broader quality operations.

Controlling Purchased Products and Services

eLeaP’s supplier management module includes a configurable policy matrix by supplier type and risk level, with required files, audits, and questionnaires and the frequency each is due. Suppliers move through a review and approval workflow before they are approved, and supplier audit management keeps findings and follow-up in the same system. Get a Demo.

Audit and Management Review

Internal and supplier audits with classified findings, linked corrective actions, follow-up audits, and management review records.

Audits That Close the Loop

Plan audits with scope, owner, team, and findings classified as Major NC, Minor NC, Observation, or OFI. Findings move from Open to In Progress, Closed, and Verified. Corrective actions link to full event records, and follow-up audits connect back to the audit they follow.

When a finding identifies a training gap, the LMS assigns targeted training to the right people, and completion records link back to the originating finding. Management review meetings keep agendas, attendees, actions, and minutes in one record, with sign-off when the meeting is complete. Get a Demo.

Training and Competency: Built In, Not Added On

Enterprise learning management system is native to the platform. Role-based assignment, skill tracking, and training records are managed in the same system as your documents, changes, and events, not tracked separately.

People who perform work that affects product and service quality need documented competence, and the evidence has to stay current as procedures change. Meeting that across shop, field, engineering, inspection, and quality roles takes more than a training system that integrates with your QMS.

eLeaP’s learning management is native to the platform, delivered through the training management system module. Send a document to training with one click, or require training automatically when it becomes Effective. Smart Assigning rules assign courses by job title, department, or region. Observation checklists record in-person skill assessments, skills tie to courses and roles, and the LMS tracks certifications, credentials, and on-the-job training. Skill levels also support qualification of special processes such as welding. When an auditor asks for training records, you answer immediately, from one system.
