Indicators of Dormant System & Action Plan to Revive


The system once established and also gets endorsed by certification, the organization is relaxed. Slowly inertia in the system creeps in and organization goes back.

 Let us see the indicators:

1.      Management Review is cooked.

2.      Internal Reviews are  just formality and very few NC/ no NC.

3.      System manual/ Procedures do not get revised for years.

4.       There are no CAPA.

5.      Customer satisfaction is also a formality the data is collected a few days before audit .

6.      Vendor assessment shows all vendors are passing.

7.      All objectives are achieved.

8.      The work instructions are not on the pertinent points.

9.      HIRA/ Aspect impact is never revised.

10.  No incidents recorded.

11.  Only the completed improvements projects are recorded.

12.  Only the completed design projects are tabulated in design system clause wise.

 

The reasons are:

1.      It is believed that certification is aim.

2.      The implementation is only to achieve & maintain certification.

3.      The certification is only maintaining of certain papers.

4.      It is responsibility of MR since he has got the credit.

5.      Rest all have to work and MR has no other work.

6.      System is burden and s just set of rules.

 

The revival plan should be:

1.      Revisit the system  documentation with fresh look.

2.      Identify the gaps in current practice and documents.

3.      Involve team.

4.      Show the improvements possible thru PDCA, process approach.

5.      Link business goal with objectives.

6.      Reorganize, Energize  team for audits, trainings, Improvement projects

7.      Link improvements to system.
