In the weeks leading up external audits, quality departments spend considerable time and effort organizing documentation in order to demonstrate compliance. Retroactive documentation of processes is costly and ineffective and companies miss opportunities to continuously evaluate and improve their systems.

 

IBS Assessment Management software helps companies perform painless internal audits, and prepare for inspections and audits by registrars and regulatory agencies. When companies take a proactive approach to assessing their systems, processes, and suppliers, they drive continuous improvement of business performance.

 

 

With IBS Assessment Management software, you can:

• Schedule, create, and execute internal assessments and supplier assessments online
• Create CARs, PARs and NCMRs based on assessment findings
• Set up a customized workflow that will require users to follow a predefined set of steps for handling assessment findings
• Create assessment plans so that users can easily evaluate systems, processes, suppliers, risks, etc.
• Notify assessors of pending assessments and escalate missed deadlines to management
• Assess the severity and likelihood of business risks, and perform numerical risk weighting

Before IBS Assessment Management Software: The weeks before audits were a nightmare for quality professionals, as they scrambled to organize documentation and ensure processes met compliance requirements. In rushing to get their quality systems up to par, they neglected other aspects of quality management. Plus, taking a retroactive approach to quality inevitably resulted in loose ends and disparate processes.

 

After IBS Assessment Management Software: The system makes it easy for quality teams to manage and conduct internal and supplier audits to evaluate and improve their quality systems on a timely basis. When they consistently assess their quality processes, they are better prepared for audits by registrars and regulatory agencies, thereby eliminating last minute rushes.

 

 

 

Before IBS Assessment Management Software: Auditors had to wade through piles of paperwork in order to ascertain that processes were in compliance. Even when some files were electronic, most companies lacked cohesive systems for storing and updating documents. This led to extra legwork and duplicated documentation.

 

After IBS Assessment Management Software: A few clicks are all it takes to retrieve necessary documentation in order to demonstrate compliance to ISO assessment requirements and drive continuous improvement. External audits are quicker and less costly.

 

 

 

Before IBS Assessment Management Software: When internal and external audits generated findings, it was difficult to implement changes that could resolve the issues. It was time-consuming to identify the root cause(s) of problems, and challenging to decide on the appropriate course of action.

 

After IBS Assessment Management Software: Assessment findings force the creation of appropriate corrective actions, leading to the prompt identification of the root causes of problems. Management escalation for unresolved problems and required approval of effective solutions significantly improves compliance.
