Document management is the foundation for creating a single source of truth within the organization. When a company’s document management approach is ad-hoc, there is a ripple effect on the entire business foundation. Incident Management becomes less reliable as previous records remain hidden or unavailable, organizational changes become tedious, processes are not communicated properly to all employees, and quality gets affected as design history is not prepared.
A Document Management System is imperative for businesses across industries, including manufacturing, medical devices, construction, automobile, etc. Having the right document management process is the first step in creating a better quality and safety culture within the organization.
This guide focuses on the regulations and best document management practices for better quality and safety.
Documentation is regulatory compliance, as it is critical for sharing information, knowledge transfer, communication, and collaboration among key stakeholders. Managing all forms of communication, including emails, Word documents, PDFs, and image documents, and accessing them when required can be a very big challenge. Multiple versions may float around, creating confusion – delaying the process of making key decisions on time.
In safety management, incident reports, safety policies, risk registries, and other similar safety-related documents should be easily accessible for auditing and reporting purposes. For quality management, documentation was proof of how product changes throughout its lifecycle have an impact on design. Documentation-assisted design quality processes as living records help improve usability in the quality system.
An electronic approach to document management will create a central repository of documents related to training, incidents and near-misses, change, and design process. Businesses can leverage this new-age technology to create, modify, review, approve, store, organize, access, and share documents globally in a controlled manner. Using a robust document management system also allows quality and safety leaders to track each document from origin to obsolescence using in-built graphical dashboards, analytics, integrated collaboration, and workflow tools.
ComplianceQuest’s Document Management System is a cloud-based system built on the Salesforce Platform. It is designed to improve productivity and efficiency. The system aligns with various regulatory standards, including ISO 9001, OSHA, and GxP standards, to ensure the automation of the end-to-end document management workflow works seamlessly. With a workflow-driven process aided by secure digital capabilities, businesses can simplify the process of creating and updating documents, always ensuring the right templates are used. ComplianceQuest’s Document Management System can be used to
Data security is a mandatory requirement per General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Although all document management systems have security, organizations need to ensure document security to protect business and individual interests. A company that cannot keep data protected can face several consequences, including -
ComplianceQuest draws on the strengths of Salesforce to provide its customers with a secure and reliable document management system. It aligns with standards such as ISO 9001, OSHA, and GxP standards to ensure the automation of the end-to-end document management workflow works seamlessly.
A cloud-based Document Control System ensures that all the facilities always have access to the most recent set of approved procedures. While having access to the latest documents with all the version history is helpful, it is important to keep a few best practices in mind. Having these standardizations across the organization helps ensure all the personnel has access to the latest information and new operations are consistently onboarded.
Here are five best practices to ensure proper document management within the organization:
Paper-based document management systems restrict transparency and follow-up. There is no proper method to trace quality or safety incidents as everything is siloed. A document management system provides secure and permission-based access to records, inspections, and incident reports, thus improving sharing of relevant, safety-related information among departments and auditors. With a cloud-based document management system, businesses can share safety policies, plans, audit findings, permits-to-work, risk registries, and incident reports across different teams for collaboration and follow-up actions.
In the quest to improve documentation, businesses are now focusing on automation. Automating document management improves access and enables standardization of safety processes across locations. Operators and workers at the site can use the information to understand better how to handle an emergency situation effectively.
CQ Document Management Solution enables managing the entire document lifecycle, gaining complete visibility, and relying on a single source of truth across all locations for more effective decision-making on health and safety-related issues. Support Your Entire Organization, including document owners, document creators, HR and training managers, IT/CIOs, Quality/EHS/ QHSE managers, and production/supply chain/operations teams.
