Cetec ERP Simplifies ISO Compliance with Streamlined NCRs

Reading time ( words)

Cetec ERP offers an innovative approach to streamline ISO compliance with its fully native Quality Management System (QMS) and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) functionality. Designed for heavily regulated industries such as medical devices, aerospace, and defense manufacturing, Cetec ERP’s integrated QMS system simplifies the quality management process, ensuring compliance and improving operational efficiency.

In manufacturing, maintaining compliance is crucial, and documenting non-conformances is an essential part of the quality management process. Tracking NCRs externally, whether in spreadsheets or separate software, can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Cetec ERP eliminates these challenges by offering native NCR functionality out of the box, seamlessly integrating it into standard manufacturing processes.

Cetec ERP’s QMS module incorporates NCRs directly within the manufacturing company's processes, linking them to the source inspection. When a failed inspection occurs during production or receiving, an NCR is automatically generated, populated with relevant data from the source failure. The system allows for the upload of supporting data and documentation, enabling the generation of comprehensive NCR reports that include root causes, dispositions, and resolutions. NCRs are then able to easily be escalated into a Corrective or Preventive Action Report (CARs or CAPAs).

The integrated nature of Cetec ERP’s QMS module provides real-time visibility into production progress, empowering managers to proactively address potential issues before they escalate. By identifying trends, analyzing root causes, and implementing corrective actions promptly, companies can improve customer satisfaction, boost confidence in audits, reduce costs associated with quality issues, and enhance employee efficiency in managing the NCR process.

Cetec ERP's intuitive interface and comprehensive features empower manufacturers to take control of their operations, regardless of regulatory requirements. By leveraging powerful tools like NCRs, companies can effectively and efficiently manage quality management processes, ensuring compliance and driving operational excellence.

At the recent SMTA Boise Expo & Tech Forum, Barry Matties spoke with Doug Holtz, national sales manager of Conductive Containers, about challenges related to ESD and where manufacturers are most vulnerable. It’s a growing concern, Doug says, and there are important lessons to be learned. Doug also reviews his presentation, and he points out how reducing touchpoints in the supply chain can make a world of difference for both customers and manufacturers.

At the recent Dallas SMTA Expo and Tech Forum, I spoke with many of the 100 exhibitors who dotted the exhibit floor. David Thomas, an IPC master instructor at EPTAC, was running the training company’s booth there. I asked him to update me on EPTAC’s latest efforts and to discuss the value of exhibiting at local events like this one.
