Enhancing traceability and improving visibility and accountability with Unifize

Traceability, Unifize, absolutely helps with traceability. Our quality management system, even though even when it was more manual intensive, we've always we've had a pretty good handle on traceability of raw materials and lots of finished goods because it involves our ERP as well.

And ERP is pretty solid with that stuff.

The accountability and the visibility was the biggest improvement for us. Visibility, as I referenced before, was very important because corrective actions, open deviations, change controls, all these basic portions of a quality management system would sometimes just not be finished because of how busy people are day to day in operating the business.

And accountability was a big deal as well, because sometimes you can send out an email and say, These are the things that we need to do in order to finish this process. But it's not always obvious who or what is responsible for finishing off the action items in that email or when one action item is complete and when the next person would have to take the handoff.

Having again, all that in a central area on Unifize has made that accountability process a lot easier because it's right there. You've assigned that stage of the process to a specific person with a specific due date, with automated reminders that it needs to, It's always open, it needs to get done. It needs to get done. You don't lose track of what's going on with that process.
