What are the most difficult aspects of non-compliant product management? Could you have issues with product identification and traceability? Could you have issues with the linkage of evidence to the noncompliance? You document the noncompliance with the product either in a standard template report or send an email with the information captured within the text. In either case, how are you managing the data within the context of your company’s supply chain quality, procurement or financial management systems?
I know I ask a lot of questions. You probably want a couple of answers. It all starts with the correct identification of the product. Then clearly identifying the issue. Ok, fine, are there any best practices? Share-ify has some solutions for you. Using Share-ify’s mobile technology in conjunction with the Share-ify supply chain management program, you can directly scan the UPC codes directly into the database during inspections. If you find a noncompliance either during a product inspection or during a facility audit, you can take a picture of the issue in context with the traceability information.
Maintaining the noncompliance data in a central management system allow every department to contribute to the resolution of the issue. If the noncompliance is due to a partner failure, you can share the information with the partner, your procurement department and your accounting department.
One of the keys to developing best practices is the availability of great data to analyze to reduce or eliminate future failures. Share-ify provides you with the management tools to be great.
