Automating
Processes and Achieving Certification |
|
Companies are increasingly looking for ways
to streamline their operations. They are searching for a formal,
structured system to achieve rapid ISO/QS certification or compliance.
Such systems should address their needs to readily format documents
to ISO or QS using templates without having to depend on a consultant
for policies, procedures, work instructions and other controlled
documentation. |

Maintaining certification
and Tackling Failed Quality Audits |
|
Responding to the escalating demands of your client base
calls for a dynamic approach to continual improvement. Even
certified companies require a streamlined process for continued
maintenance and audits. Quality documents and records are often
difficult to access, stored in filing cabinets with little or
no revision history. This results in prolonged audits and endless
adjustments. |

Efficiently Managing
Quality Documents |
|
Quality Departments are often overwhelmed with the time-consuming
administration of countless versions of quality documents and
records in a multi-user environment. Quality managers have difficulty
controlling current in-use documents and archived versions,
resulting in poor product quality. Whether your system is manual
or electronic, security is critical – it is crucial to
grant read-only access to some users and editing privileges
to authorized users. |

|
Timely Execution of
Corrective Actions |
|
Quality managers need tools to rapidly push
corrective actions through proper channels. Supervisors and
various departments generally approve and sign documents and
records either sequentially or simultaneously. Without automation,
document approvals can be a tedious process, taking weeks or
months for approval. |

|
|
Establishing an Enterprise-wide
System |
| |
Standardization and integration of your quality
management system across the organization can gain you a major
competitive advantage. This is a key step in ensuring that your
entire organization contributes to the streamlining initiative,
thereby optimizing your efforts. Accuracy and consistency is
especially important for newly acquired facilities. |
