Case Study: Alcan Aluminum Corp. achieves global QMS automation and QS 9000 compliance with ETQ Reliance

Alcan Grows their System with ETQ RelianceTM

Alcan, a global leader in aluminum production, was hampered by paper‑based and hybrid quality systems that made it difficult to track documents, revisions, CAPAs, engineering changes and to demonstrate QS 9000 compliance across its operations. The company also needed a scalable way to support its corporate EHS First initiative and make quality and safety processes available worldwide.

Alcan implemented ETQ Reliance, using its web‑based, flexible workflow platform to automate document control, approvals and electronic distribution without custom programming. The system was rolled out globally (350 sites, 10,000+ users, 14 languages), eliminated paper routing, saved thousands of administrative hours, ensured regulatory compliance (QS 9000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001) and enabled rapid configuration of additional business processes to support EHS First.
