A web-based application for the rapid development and documentation of Business Processes or ISO based Processes.
Why did IQC create RASI Pro™?
During the course of a year, IQC does roughly 75 ISO-based system implementations. The longest and most expensive phase of each of those implementations is the documentation phase: the creation of the client’s specific, process based procedures. IQC found that by creating RASI Pro™ and automating process documentation,
the time the client spent to produce those much needed documents was reduced by 75%.
How was the documentation created before RASI Pro™?
Prior to the creation of RASI Pro™, an individual responsible for creating the process based documentation would have to manually plot out each flow chart and fill it in with information related to the specific process. In addition to flow charting, that individual would also have to create the information needed to complete the process and to make it user friendly for the intended audience. Many times, the documentation created is not user or reader friendly. Each of those steps would have to be done for each process. Typically, a company documents between 35 and 40 processes for an ISO or ISO/TS system. As specialists, it took IQC roughly 15 to 20 days to complete the documentation needed for an entire system using the old way of creating documentation.
How is documentation created with RASI Pro™?
After populating the RASI Pro™ system with the positions in your specific organization, the application guides you through the creation of your process flows. The process flows are separated into three categories: Customer
Oriented Processes (COPs), Support Oriented Processes (SOPs), and Management Oriented Processes (MOPs). By selecting the correct process function and inputting the correct information, each unique process flow is automatically produced. After the correct selections are made for the process flows, the application guides you through easy input functions to complete the documentation.
When finished, your ISO compliant documentation is generated with HTML in IQC’s proprietary RASI™ format. Furthermore, once the application is populated with the organization’s information, revisions are easily made and each position can have tailor made training booklets based on your documentation for easy training sessions with new or existing employees.
What ISO based standards is RASI Pro™ compatible with?
RASI Pro™ is compatible with not only ISO 9001, but also ISO/TS 16949, AS9100, ISO 14001, TL 9000, ISO 13485, ISO 22000 and ISO 17799. RASI Pro™ is also able to be used as a tool to create non-ISO processes for business improvement and control.
What are the advantages of using the RASI Pro™ application?
RASI Pro™ Advantages:
- Easy to learn, use and understand
- Promotes a “process approach” to documentation
- Reduces the number of “pages” in the documented system
- dentifies:
- inputs
- outputs
- responsibility
- authority
- Reduces “consulting” time and costs
- Provides clear audit trails
- Produces consistent documentation
- Promotes “process-based” auditing
- Database driven: IQC can pull data from all processes to make position specific training manuals
- On-line help and standard interpretation available
- through IQC
- Saves 75% of the time needed to produce process based documentation
