Hello,
Currently working as an audit manager in a shipyard. We have a large database where deficiencies are entered from various sources, over 60,000 entries per year. Seems to be a normal, large database that allows a variety of analyses.
One issue under discussion is the value of entering data where something occurred and had no deficiencies. Roughly, the database records deficiencies as level 4 = no deficiency, level 3 = minor, level 2 = major, and level 1 = critical.
It takes effort to ensure the accuracy and validity of the database. One opinion is that the effort to validate level 4 entries is non-value added. Another opinion is that the level 4s provide a relation to deficiencies in similar areas. (ex: two level 2s for the year = better take action now. But two level 2s in relation to 48 no deficiencies = the process seems manageable.) Recording the level 4s can be referred to leaving footprints.
Was hoping some Covers would share some experience on the issue. Thoughts ??
Thanks in advance !!
