Computer System for Collection of Quality-Assurance Data

The Paperless Procedure System (PPS) is a computer-based, semiautomated electronic system for collection and management of quality-assurance data in a large organization. The original version of PPS was designed for use by Kennedy Space Center personnel engaged in inspection tasks during test and assembly procedures that are part of preparing the space shuttle and its payloads for flight. The PPS was also designed to be adaptable to nonaerospace commercial applications.
