The Quality Assurance Extended Module in m2i.SHEQ expands the capabilities of SHEQ to support those managing a quality management system (QMS) such as ISO 9001. It is a powerful tool for integrated management of non-conformances, audits and risk – vital components of any mature quality system.
It supports your commitment to regulatory compliance, but also drives operational excellence and continuous improvement. The m2i.SHEQ platform is built to support these goals through a suite of modules tailored to your company’s unique needs.
What is the Quality Assurance Extended Module?
m2i.SHEQ has core features available in our Essentials or Professional versions. However the Quality Assurance Extended Module is an optional advanced module designed for organisations with more sophisticated compliance or operational needs – needing full QMS software. It comes as standard in our Enterprise version, and more about that later.
The Quality Assurance Extended Module provides an end-to-end framework to:
- Capture and manage non-conformances across processes and materials.
- Plan, schedule and track audits with digital checklists and workflow support.
- Maintain a dynamic Risk Register, linking risks to actual findings and non-conformances for a comprehensive risk picture.
- Utilise insightful dashboards and reports to analyse trends and effectiveness of corrective actions.
By connecting these elements, the module ensures quality events are not siloed but contribute to a continuous improvement culture aligned with standards like ISO 9001.
How does Quality Assurance fit within m2i.SHEQ?
The Quality Assurance Extended Module forms part of the Extended Modules suite available to organisations needing greater functionality beyond the standard SHEQ processes. Other modules in this suite include:
- Permits to Work (digitised permit approvals and controls).
- Employee and Subcontractor Onboarding.
- Equipment Checks (digital plant inspections).
- Procurement & Supplier Prequalification.
- Competency Tracking.
- Document Library (secure and auditable document control).
These extended modules can be selectively added according to your organisation’s priorities.
Why should you consider the Quality Assurance Extended Module?
- Centralised oversight: Manage non-conformance, audits and risks in one connected system rather than juggling disparate spreadsheets and documents.
- Proactive improvement: Drive corrective and preventive actions driven by real data analytics to reduce recurrence and systemic issues.
- Compliance confidence: Facilitate ISO 9001 and other regulatory compliance by maintaining audit readiness, thorough documentation, and traceable corrective actions.
- Scalability: The module’s flexible workflows and reporting adapt as your organisation grows or regulatory demands increase.
