Summary: Many industries have regulatory requirements they must adhere to stay in business or performance requirements they thrive to meet to improve top and bottom lines. As many as there are requirements, there are as many methods available at their disposal. Some are very manual (read as paper based) that merely allows one to say they are in compliance, but then there are best of breed that allows closed-loop business process automation. These systems provide value to the enterprise in terms of less expended value-added effort, lower life cycle costs, drastically reduced process cycle times to improve costs, and visibility of aggregated key performance indicator via performance dashboards.

An enterprise needs to ascertain that the IT Infrastructure and the architecture balance what the business needs based on its internal strategy. The processes will evolve/change over time, needs will arise for new processes and there will be times the regulations change. Therefore, you need to make sure the system will evolve as the changes kick in without jeopardizing compliance of regulatory requirements. You want a comprehensive, easy to use Web-based system which can provide flexibility and one that allows you to manage and solve a variety of issues in one, centralized repository. These may include:

• Corrective and preventive actions
• Non-Conformance/Deviation tracking
• Regulatory commitment tracking
• Environmental, Health and Safety issues
• Audits and findings
• ISO9000 / ISO 14001 certification process
• Human performance management
• Electronic approvals
• Supplier quality
• Complaints management
• 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B compliance (nuclear)
• Self assessments
• Plus much more

Interactive live demonstration will be available to experience a web-based product and enable participants to ask questions, perform management style queries, see full audit trails of electronic records that meet regulatory requirements, and see how electronic signatures and escalation rules can impact timely resolution of problems and issues.

Mr. Ponnudurai will also discuss reporting and business intelligence tools that are equally as important as the quality and compliance system itself. Personalized dashboards improve productivity, afford visibility of adverse events in a timely manner, allow you to respond to issues much faster, reduce cycle times and improve the corporate bottom line.

The Takeaway: Participants will have better understanding on how a web-based, flexible system can be effectively employed to reduce cycle times, improve performance, track issues easily and flexible enough to automate other business processes to improve plant quality assurance and comply with regulatory commitments on a timely basis.
