Corrective and preventive action are part of non conformance reports in ISO Quality Management Systems.
Use our software to make managing them so much easier.
Although this invaluable tool is primarily aimed at simplifying a Quality Manager’s job, it can be configured for multiple users that have restricted access.This permits functional and department heads to capture their own non conformances directly.
Create a new non conformance report on the system and describe the problem.
A non conformance can be identified by various methods, including management reviews of quality data, quality audits, failure analysis, supplier audits, customer complaints, customer feedback, risk analysis and other quality events.
Attach pictures or any other files for clarity.
Describe the corrective action that needs to be taken to prevent the recurrence of the problem in the future.
Assign to a responsible person and set a due date.
Corrective action systems make this process much easier to manage.
Do a RCA analysis using the 5 whys analysis or any other suitable methodology.
This can be done to determine the appropriate corrective or preventive action.
Assign to a responsible person and set a due date.
Use the results of the 5 whys root cause analysis to define the preventive action that needs to be taken to prevent this type of issue from occurring again in the future.
Assign to a responsible person and set a due date.
When we developed the NCR-Software Non Conformance Reporting Software, we were very specific in that it should be Basic, Easy-to-Use and Affordable.
Having said that, the software contains all the important quality system elements that you need to ensure that you’ll be able to comply with all your ISO Quality Management System (QMS) requirements to identify product and quality problems.
This includes a description of the nonconformity and where it occurred, the corrective action implemented to fix the problem, a section describing the root cause analysis undertaken, and finally, the preventive action taken to ensure that the problem won’t happen again in the future.
You’ll be able to see the status of your Nonconformity Reports at a glance. Easily track the number of NCRs that are open, how many have been delayed, and how many have been closed.
Rather than filling out CAPA records manually or trying to keep track of numerous electronic documents all over the network, you can add relevant documents to each separate part of the NCR.
This includes the None Conformity, Corrective Action, Preventive Action, and Root Cause Analysis fields. This effectively turns the CAPA system into a Document Management System that makes CAPA management simple and easy.
External and Internal audits of your non conformance reports complete with corrective and preventative actions will become so much easier will all relevant quality records filed electronically in one central location.
Although we have a few larger corporate and enterprise clients, the vast majority of our customer base consists of small to medium companies.
Smaller companies typically don’t have the budget or the resources to run sophisticated Quality Management System (QMS) Software and they tend to use manual quality processes.
As our software can be used by up to 2 users for free forever, and the full functionality is included, it allows small companies to get going immediately without incurring any cost.
Managing product and quality problems with robust corrective action process controls including corrective actions, preventive actions, and management reviews will drive quality improvements as it makes it easy to detect recurring quality problems.
Quality Management is not limited to any industry and our clients are involved in the manufacturing, pharma, cloud service provision, leisure and travel, medical device companies, and mining industries to mention but a few.
Whether you are busy building your ISO Quality Management System (QMS) and are preparing it to get certified, have recently received your ISO certification, or have been ISO certified for a while but are looking at ways in which you can improve your CAPA corrective action preventive action system to make it more effective and efficient, the NCR-Sotware system will add real value to your process of continual improvement.
We have in fact found that many smaller companies that find no value in being formally accredited according to any of the ISO Quality Management standards still want to use a formal corrective action plan to enhance their continuous improvement process.
All the QMS principles, including continual improvement, are after all universally seen as best practises that will improve the way any business operates.
Filters, sorting options and search on multiple fields allows you to find the specific NCR or range of NCRs you’re looking for.
Reports can be exported to a spreadsheet for further analysis if required.
