A clearer way to manage manufacturing qualification
Meridian brings qualification steps, evidence, reviews and approvals into one structured record, helping teams spend less time chasing documents and more time completing the work.
Developed through a University of Strathclyde research programme.
Qualification records are often spread across too many places
Many teams still manage qualification through spreadsheets, shared drives, documents and email. This can make it harder to find evidence, track progress and prepare for review.
Scattered information
Evidence and approvals sit across different files, folders and inboxes.
Limited visibility
It can be difficult to see what is complete, what is delayed and what needs attention.
Knowledge held by individuals
Important process knowledge can be lost when people leave or change roles.
Time-consuming audit preparation
Records often need to be checked and rebuilt before they are ready for review.

Meridian is being developed to bring qualification steps, evidence, reviews and approvals into one structured system.

Help shape a better way to manage qualification
We are speaking with quality managers, engineers and manufacturing teams to understand how qualification is managed today, where delays happen and what a useful solution needs to support.
