Welcome to Out of Specification (OOS) Application
In the dynamic landscape of quality assurance, the Out Of Specification (OOS) application emerges as an indispensable tool, meticulously designed to address deviations in test results that fall outside anticipated parameters. Whether the scrutiny involves samples from product-released batches or the inspection of materials and ingredients, the OOS application provides a streamlined, digitalized, and intuitive workflow for efficient recording and investigation of non-compliance instances.
Seamless OOS Management from Capture to Resolution
Launching OOS records becomes a seamless process, allowing users to effortlessly document crucial information such as Subject, Description, Attachments, and Photos. This user-friendly feature ensures that capturing essential details is swift and straightforward, enhancing the efficiency of the investigation process.
The application seamlessly integrates with the Lab Testing application and other deployed applications, providing a cohesive environment for efficient data exchange. This integration allows for the direct launch of OOS records from lab test records, establishing dual linking between the two processes, ensuring data consistency and reducing redundancy.
Offering a nuanced approach, the application facilitates detailed references for both product and material-related OOS cases. Through a lookup on relevant deployed applications, users can efficiently link OOS records to specific products, batches, lots, suppliers, materials, and material lot numbers, creating a comprehensive network of interconnected data for informed decision-making.
Aiming for thoroughness, the application provides a platform to record comprehensive details of the OOS, covering crucial aspects such as Process Step, Temperature Condition, Sample Number, Sample Receiving Date, Parameter, Specification, OOS Result, and more. This depth of information ensures a holistic understanding of the deviation, laying the foundation for a well-informed investigation.
Elevating the investigative process, the application allows users to reference related Test Method documents from Document Control and launch a Risk Assessment record. This risk-based approach empowers organizations to systematically assess and mitigate potential risks associated with the OOS case, fostering a proactive and preventive stance.
Guiding users through a streamlined workflow, the application facilitates the smooth progression of OOS records. After receiving approval sign-off from lab management, the record seamlessly moves to the investigation step, ensuring that the entire process adheres to predefined protocols and accelerates decision-making.
Delving into the investigative phase, the application supports a deep exploration of the OOS case, allowing users to document results in related sections and attach files or objective evidence photos. Simultaneously, the integrated real-time analytics solution adds a layer of sophistication, enabling users to create visualizations and dashboards for a comprehensive analysis of trends and patterns.
Enabling a collaborative decision-making process, the application empowers users to provide recommendations on batch or ingredient disposition. These recommendations can then be forwarded to management for approval before execution, ensuring that decisions align with organizational goals and compliance requirements.
Recognizing the interconnected nature of quality management processes, the application seamlessly links OOS records to related or resulting records within the deployed EQMS. This integration includes deviations, Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs), and other relevant records, fostering a holistic approach to quality assurance.
Recognizing the unique needs of diverse organizations, the application offers configurability with workflows and forms, leveraging leading-edge No-Code designers. Additionally, the cloud-based and Software as a Service (SaaS) deployment model enhances accessibility, eliminates the need for internal IT infrastructure, and contributes to cost reduction, ensuring a flexible and efficient solution for quality assurance in the digital era.
