Key Elements

KEY ELEMENTS

As part of your MS documentation, ConformanceWare® includes area specific workbooks geared to save time and reduce paperwork. Each workbook compiles data into one place for instant retrieval, which eliminates the need for using multiple forms.

 

In key areas of the management system, each workbook serves as a one stop document spreadsheet that holds specific and necessary information required for certification. This enables the system to run more efficiently and gives the CB auditor the means to easily find and verify the information they’re looking for.

 

A(Q)ESHPP Workbook - The A(Q)EHSPP is a processing planning management workbook. It is set up to ask all the questions required for process planning as required by the applicable standards. Questions are simply checked off as Yes, No or Not Applicable. The workbook also includes an Actions sheet to record any tasks and/or issues that need to be addressed and assigns responsibility and dates associated to the task or issue.

 

AIRA Workbook - The AIRA workbook addresses the processing aspects and the impacts of those aspects by assigning a risk score to environmental, health, safety and legal areas to obtain an overall risk score. The workbook also includes a Control (Quality) Plan sheet. For each aspect listed in the EHS-AIRA, the Control (Quality) Plan addresses all the requirements necessary to perform the aspect and reactions to any Quality, Environmental, Health and/or Safety issues that may arise. Finally, all associated legal requirements are listed in the Legal sheet of the workbook.

 

FMMP Workbook - The FMMP workbook addresses all Focus Materials called out in the R2 Standard. The EHS-FMMP addresses the controls and risk associated with each Focus Material. The EHS-FMMP also lists all downstream vendors receiving the Focus Materials, their certifications to the relevant standards or proper vetting by the company or other entity. Additionally, for due diligence to all personnel, the workbook includes a Basel Wastes sheet listing all hazardous wastes determine by the Basel Convention and the US Legal requirements for monitoring and exposure. The Locations sheet lists where the various hazardous wastes are located in the various electronic devices.

When making the investment to become certified, some of you are entering unfamiliar territory. You may be overwhelmed by the fact that while learning how to fully understand the certification process, you must simultaneously continue to successfully run your business.

 

ConformanceWare® is designed to demystify this process and put you at ease. To ensure first time success, ConformanceWareTM provides the kind of support you expect to go along with it.

 

ConformanceWare® includes three distinct levels of consulting support. With it, you receive your choice of support services from a management system expert combined with a fully functional MS all in one package.
