Introduction
Non-conformances are bound to happen on your projects, but how well you manage them will have a more profound and lasting impact on your project success and the reputation of your work.
In the past, non-conformances triggered a slow chain of events which started with documenting the non-conformance and ended with the corrective actions or action steps required to rectify the non-conformance.
With Dashpivot, a non-conformance triggers a streamlined and entirely digital sequence of events which is organised and fast. Some of the components of Dashpivot which makes this possible include:
Digital non-conformance report forms which can be filled out on site and signed off on mobile or tablet
Simple and powerful workflow automations which push non-conformances through the approval chain of command for you
Real-time access and collaboration between parties on the same and latest version of the non-conformance report
Access to a library of photos, videos and PDF's which illustrate non-conformances and provide proof of non-conformance and progress
Dashpivot makes managing your entire non-conformance process and all of the documents, approvals and communication involved quick, easy and organised for all parties involved.
How it works
Key features
Access and create NCRs on site using the mobile/tablet app
Add photos and videos to the form while on site
Attach and markup PDFs using the mobile app
Instantly and automatically notify the right person as its signed off, so they can sign off the next step (and do so remotely if preferred)
Automatically generate a register of all NCRs, with ability to filter by category, type, status, date, person
Download a selection of NCRs onto professional, company-branded PDFs
Best practices
Setup your NCR template as workflows to clarify and standardise the steps in the review process
Setup workflow notifications at each step in the workflow to notify the right person at the right time (instantly)
Include a photo field so that visual evidence/records can be attached
Use list fields where appropriate, to make filtering the register easy (eg. type of NCR, package, status), and filter by the list items on any analytics charts
Include a text field for NCR title/description, then in the template builder settings, display this title/description field on the form thumbnail
