Risk Management Software System
ISO standard based QMS QISS Offers Risk Management Software System for your company.
QISS gives you a complete view of your enterprise risk landscape. It includes all product lines, business units, procedures, quality management, document control, etc. The risk management software tracking and analysis features let you quickly identify and mitigate long-term system, process, and product risks.
This writing will discuss a Risk Management Software System of an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard-based quality management software QISS.
What is the QISS Risk Management System?
The QISS, Risk Management System, is designed to allow the user to perform the three steps of management:
a) Risk Assessment
b) Cause Analysis
c) Risk Prevention
The RBI or Risk-Based Improvement suite of modules contains the tools necessary to perform the above tasks and allows an organization to determine risk and its risk exposure.
The first module is risk assessment, where a user can initiate a risk assessment on an event or occurrence. The module allows the user to title and describe the risk situation and assign the risk assessment to a responsible person. Upon assignment, the responsible person will assign the consequence of the risk issue and determine the consequence detail by filling out the RPN( Risk Priority Number) formula. Formula contents and measurement details are determined during the setup phase of the module. The risk priority number is measured and determined by multiplying the likelihood of an event by the consequence of the said event. If the number is low, most organizations will deem the risk acceptable and move on. If the number is medium or higher, organizations will move forward with further inspections involving root cause analysis and prevention activities – based upon the RPN number. After further risk activities have been completed, the RPN should be lowered into an acceptable range for business continuation.
As described above, the second module is the Root Cause Analysis module. Here, a user can initiate a root cause action. QISS provides the option of a five why methodology format that aids the user in root cause determination. The results are stored in QISS and available for further use through the module’s search option.
The final module available in RBI is the prevention module. After assessing a risk event is completed, and a root cause has been determined, QISS has the prevention module that allows a user to describe and document a risk issue and corresponding root cause determination. The next steps are identical to corrective action in that the organization will develop a plan by assigning responsible persons to do so, initiate the plan in an agreed-upon manner, and, finally, to evaluate the effectiveness of the risk prevention plan as implemented.

The history of the QISS Risk Management System
The QISS Risk Management System was developed in 2017, primarily as the tool for risk assessment as dictated by the new ISO 9001:2015 international standard.
ISO 900:2015 introduced risk or risk-based thinking into the required components of the new standard. This type of analysis had not been previously required or delineated and has led to dramatic changes in the QMS of all organizations, large and small.
The risk module is designed with all the tools necessary to undertake a risk assessment, analysis, and evaluation as required by ISO 9001:2015. While the risk module is one of the newest in the QISS suite, it has developed into a cornerstone module for organizations to identify and assess risk in production, inspection, and supplier relationships.
