MasterControl Audit Review

Connected Audit Management System

MasterControl offers a holistic approach to quality management by establishing connections between multiple systems and integrating all the steps of the audit process. For instance, users will be able to gather data from risk systems so they can determine what should be audited and how often. They can integrate audit data with supplier or vendor scorecards.  In addition, the software permits them to launch quality event forms directly from audit findings such as CAPAs (Corrective Action Preventive Action) or SCARs (Supplier Corrective Action Request) – formal requests issued to suppliers to notify them about quality issues so they can resolve such issues and prevent their recurrence.

Advanced Audit Scheduling

Planning and scheduling audits can be complex and tedious because the frequency of different types of audits (e.g., internal, customer, compliance) can vary based on a number of factors. With MasterControl, the planning of all audit-related activities and preparation of audit schedules is a breeze. Through the aid of its easy-to-use audit scheduling calendar that has a drag-and-drop interface, users will be able to schedule audits easily. They can create schedules for future audits, taking into account the risk involved or the importance of the process, supplier, or system they have to audit. To avoid scheduling conflicts such as double-booked auditors or out-of-office events, MasterControl’s advanced audit scheduling includes a functionality that automatically sends appointment notifications and updates to auditors and pinpoints any scheduling conflict.

Powerful Reporting Capabilities

MasterControl provides users with powerful reporting capabilities. Eliminating disparate spreadsheets and paper-based documents, the software allows users to automatically create audit reports from customizable report templates, as well as collaborate on these reports. Moreover, MasterControl streamlines the approval of audit reports by permitting users to set up an approval group for each type of audit. When a report needs to be approved, notifications are sent automatically.

Increased Visibility Of Overall Quality Management System

To wrap it up, MasterControl helps executives and managers improve their audit management process by increasing visibility of the overall quality management system. The software automatically tracks issues raised during the conduct of audits and assists users in identifying weak areas through the aid of advanced analytics and reporting.
