Helping you comply with standards
The Problems...
Organisations face demands to maintain and demonstrate compliance to an ever-increasing range of standards and legal / regulatory requirements. These include:Quality
Customers expect products and services to meet their quality
expectations. Many seek assurance from suppliers in the form of a
quality management system based on the international standard ISO 9001.
Certification is often a must-have requirement in tender documents.
Occupational Health & Safety
The health and safety of employees and others is subject to national
legislation or local regulation - as well as
standards such as AS/NZS 4801 in Australasia, and
OHSAS 18001 in various countries.
Environment
Environmental issues are never far from the news headlines these days, and both
buyers and regulatory bodies are increasingly looking to see organisations
manage their environmental impacts with systems based on the
international standard ISO 14001.
These are just the 'headline' standards. Depending on your activities, other compliance standards may apply to your organisation: such as ISO 27001 for Information Security, and ISO 22000 for Food Safety. Whatever the subject matter, these standards are all based on similar principles, and require similar functions to be performed.
If you need to address at least one of these standards it is vital to have an effective and efficient system in place. If you need to address MORE than one of the standards, an INTEGRATED system can be of great value to avoid isolated silos of knowledge and duplication of effort.
The Solution...
The modular design of Qudos 3 is based on tasks that are common to all major compliance standards such as ISO 9001 Quality and ISO 14001 Environment.
All customers receive all modules - which means there are no hidden extras.
To a great extent, the modules may be used independently. However, there are some areas where components support and interact with other modules. For example, issues raised at a meeting, internal audit or risk assessment are all linked to the Actions module for planning, recording, and tracking the resulting actions.
Qudos 3 enables you to configure options to suit your organisational structure and the compliance issues you are interested in. As that changes over time, you simply add to or edit those options. You can use the tools you need in the way that best suits you.
This Guided Tour will explain more about the features and benefits of individual modules, and how they can help your organisation to better compliance management - whatever issues it faces.
