Frequently asked questions
What risk assessment methodologies does the QRM module support?
FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis), risk ranking and filtering, and configurable custom risk assessment frameworks aligned with ICH Q9 methodology.
How is the Risk Priority Number (RPN) calculated?
The system automatically calculates RPN based on user-entered Severity, Occurrence, and Detectability scores eliminating manual calculation errors and ensuring consistent risk scoring.
Can risks be linked to specific business units, products, or processes?
Yes. Risks can be associated with business units, product lines, manufacturing processes, equipment, or projects enabling targeted risk monitoring at any organizational level.
How does the module support ongoing risk monitoring after initial assessment?
Mitigation actions are tracked within the system with due dates and owners. Risk status dashboards show real-time residual risk levels.
How are risk mitigation action items managed?
Action items are generated within the risk record, assigned to owners with due dates, and tracked to completion. Overdue actions trigger automated escalation notifications.
Can the QRM module support ICH Q9 compliant risk management documentation?
Yes. The module's workflow and documentation structure align with ICH Q9 principles supporting risk initiation, assessment, control, communication, review, and documentation as required.
How does the module provide organization-wide risk visibility?
Risk dashboards aggregate all active risk assessments by status, RPN score, business unit, and mitigation progress giving leadership a consolidated view of enterprise risk exposure.
Is the QRM module compliant with regulatory requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11?
Yes. The QRM module is designed to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements. It supports electronic signatures, audit trails, secure user authentication, and data integrity controls, ensuring all risk assessment records are secure, traceable, and audit-ready for regulatory inspections.
How does the module replace traditional paper-based risk checklists?
Digital risk templates replace static paper checklists with structured, versioned, approval-controlled assessments ensuring consistency, traceability, and regulatory defensibility.
What risk reporting capabilities are available for management and regulatory review?
Reports include risk register summaries, RPN trend analysis and mitigation reports,suitable for QMS management review and regulatory submissions.
