BenefitsBenefits

All task team members see changes to document instantly (Deviations, Quality buy-offs, document closures, signatures, etc.) Team is informed. Assures data accuracy.

Deviations will be incorporated directly into document rather than just attachments. Improves accuracy of operation. Processing, approving, and distributing deviations is done electronically.

Benefits (Con’t)Benefits (Con’t)

Improves information availability for incident investigations and management reporting.

Eliminates need to carry multiple stamps and ink pads.

Emergency procedures can be accessed immediately.

Future savings may be realized by using the data in statistical analysis to identify and implement process improvements.
