I use databases to track everything!!!! IMHO, that is the only way to go.

The first year that I did quality reporting, it took about a month just to go through the data and attempt to organize it. It took another month to sort it all out and begin the reports. That was the first and last time that I handled the reporting manually. As soon as Management Review was over, I implemented spreadsheets and databases to handle the information.
I believe it completely

Now it takes about a week to complete all of the reports.
Why so long?? Should be real-time. . . you can do the charts out of Access also. . .not a pretty or flexible as Excel, but as effective.

I highly recommend putting things into access and making the database available via an intranet (if possible). You can export the data into excel and generate you visual reports (if you use visuals).
See above. . .

We still have some information that is pulled from our manufacturing software. I had to set up the reports this year as I am with a new company and EVERYTHING here was hard copy. :bonk: They are coming around to my electronic way of doing things. I even have the production employees filling out CARs/PARs and suggestion forms via the intranet. :magic: Progress is a wonderful thing.

LOL That is true. I try to think of it as business common sense and do it because it improves the organization not because of ISO.


:topic: In fact we are training a new internal auditor this year and that is the definition that I gave her for ISO (it is business common sense on paper/in a strange language)

Hello,

Thank you.

I notice this 'cost of quality' phrase crops up a lot in this thread and Im wondering why its used. I would have thought that if anything it would be called the "cost of poor quality" report. Put positively it could perhaps even be called something like "process effectivness" report.

Considering there are a lot of threads and posts about management committment on the Cove that I would have thought that calling an effectivness report a 'cost of quality' report is the Q person shooting themselves in the foot.

Calling a report with this kind of a title explains to why management regard quality management as a cost not as a profit increasing tool.
