Risk Management
For companies that have their quality management system certified according to ISO 9001, risk management will also become part of their consideration in the future, as the revised ISO 9001:2015 standard requires risk management to be taken into account.
Risk identification
Quam opens up the possibility of seamlessly linking management systems with the execution level and thus provides essentially all the necessary functions to manage workflow-controlled concretely identified risks and the measures defined for their processing in one and the same system. When identifying risks, Quam enables the creation of a risk atlas, the description of risk management roles, the creation of a control loop for handling identified risks and the assignment of responsibility bearers as well as the planning of measures to clarify identified or prevent potential risks and the definition and tracking of key figures.
All employees have the opportunity to report risks. These are forwarded via the system to the person responsible and processed and monitored in accordance with the risk control loop.
Action tracking
The systematic monitoring and control of risk prevention measures to avoid errors, damage and costs arising from inherent risks in the corporate sector and entrepreneurial activity form the core of risk management in Quam. SharePoint-based electronic forms can be designed and used to report and track risks, which trigger follow-up activities with workflow support in accordance with the defined control loop of the risk tracking system.
Consistent operational processes and the associated coordination of risk action tracking can significantly increase transparency and efficiency.
This leads to cost savings of up to 70% caused by risks and to organizational security in dealing with risks.
