Business is going social. Companies big and small are connecting with customers and supply chain partners in a whole new way through social networks. And now, you can bring the power of social networks inside your company to connect with your coworkers with Chatter—a private and secure social network just for your business. Everything that matters—like the status of a specific non-conformance, CAPA or changes to customer information—comes right to you in your Chatter feed.
Features of Social Collaboration

Planning And
Scheduling Audit
CQ-Audit management software allows for audits to be planned and scheduled in advance. Audit plans can be defined by site, department, suppliers, etc. The audit plan can be reviewed, approved and communicated to the relevant auditors who can then plan their audit calendars accordingly. CQ-Audit will automatically notify the auditor and the auditees when the audits are due to be conducted, giving all parties time to prepare and make the audit exercise fruitful.

preparing for
an audit
CQ-Audit management software allows for auditors to be notified of upcoming audits. The notification period is configurable based on the company policy. The Auditor can then review the past audits, open findings, critical findings, CAPAs – if any, weaknesses, new regulations to check on, etc. The audit history can be downloaded to the auditor’s mobile device, including tablets, to support audits to be conducted on the go. The Auditor can also use an existing best-practice checklist or create and attach a custom checklist document that will support the audit.

generation
CQ-Audit management software allows for the auditors to generate audit reports based on the information entered into the solution. The audit template is based on the company template. Once the audit report is generated, the auditor may further fine-tune the content of the report for language, formatting, inclusion of relevant evidence, etc. The final audit report can be routed for approvals and then issued to the auditee.
