Near Misses

CIS integrates Near Miss Event Reporting (NM), Nonconformity (NCR), Corrective Action (CAR), Customer Feedback (CF), with each other and with Work Order (WO) and Inspection Modules. The TOTAL integration of these modules provides for complete audit traceability and ease of use. It enables a user to input a Near Miss Event and decide to immediately create and issue a corrective action and/or work order to ensure disposition and follow-up is completed. The links between the records are automatic and instantaneous. Each record is linked to all applicable records such as a NM linked with the associated CAR and Work Order to simplify access to information and traceability.
