Achieving and maintaining ISO, SQF, BRC or other quality/safety certifications, requires continuous assessment of risk and continuous management and documentation of compliance with them. As Sourcing works with their R&D and Regulatory/Compliance organizations to find and ‘approve’ suppliers, they practice SCRM to help ensure safe, timely and compliant delivery of quality materials. Once all of the required inspections are complete, documentation is provided and compliance is achieved, the Supplier is approved. To remain in compliance, the ‘expiration dates’ on all provided documents and certifications must be diligently monitored.
As the number of regulations, materials, suppliers, documents and touch points increase, companies turn to technology. A dedicated SCRM solution collaboratively manages the collection, review, approval and publishing of documents and information for easy retrieval and export to downstream systems. Automated expiration-date tracking, allows the automation of reminders/notifications, dunning and recertification to keep the process sustainable, ensuring accuracy while minimizing costs and cycle times.
