With Visual Process Diagrams, Guiding Documents, Quality Standards & Quality Management Workflows. The metadata concept makes it possible to see all content from many angles – just the way you want it in actual situations.

Visual Business Processes

Standards & Regulations

Controlled Documents

Quality Activities


Process view

The Visual QMS Process view shows QMS content & tasks in the context of process diagrams. Process diagrams show, in a comprehensive & easy-to-understand way what people are doing & how it is done, through visual representation. Because process diagrams describe the daily work of each individual & at the same time provide links to related content, people can see the quality requirements related to the work they are performing.

Process diagrams will also show up in other views: as results in the Free text search or as attachments to their related content & tasks. What you see is based on your role & access rights.

COMPLIANCE VIEW

The Visual QMS Compliance View shows all Quality Information in the context of the Quality Requirements the company must live up to. For each Quality Requirement the user will see related guiding documents, process Diagrams & Quality Activities. The information is the same as in other views, just shown from a Quality Standard perspective. You can manage multiple Quality Standards in Visual QMS.

In particular, the Compliance View shows where a requirement is not sufficiently backed up by documented processes & guiding documents or if it lacks eg. internal audit in the ongoing review.

Access your library of Compliance Requirements & easily find the relevant documentation & supporting activities for each statement/paragraph. This makes it easy to ensure that every point of compliance is covered by content & workflows in the QMS.


GUIDING DOCUMENT VIEW

The Guiding Document View show the Quality Information in the context of Guiding Documents. Policies, Procedures, Instructions & Guidelines are cornerstones in your Visual Quality Management Solution, & from each document you can find processes, training information, quality standards related to the document.

With the metadata on each document you can easily filter & sort the information. When you edit or update information, the changes are always logged & will immediately take effect in all the other views: since the views in Visual QMS show you the same content, just in different ways & contexts.

Thanks to the workflows for changes & document control, as well as the full version management, no extra copies of documents are needed. Your people will always see the correct versions of their data – no matter where or how they find them in Visual QMS!
