Main functions

Documents
Create, maintain, control, and archive all your documents with just one software. Panotica Hydra provides you with a complete overview of all document control processes.
Read more... Documents in connection with processes may contain detailed lists of activities or template forms to be filled. The documents catalogue allows you to manage the documents database. Individual files are defined in a tree structure. This makes it easier to browse and search for available documentation. One document can be assigned to many files.

  • From the document metric level you can edit the object and the attached files. The document can have different statuses - in preparation, current or ar­chival.
  • Many files can be attached to one do­cument. These files can have either cu­rrent or archival status. This allows you to collect current files into archives, and as current meaning only the last saved copies of those files.
  • Documents can be linked to other do­cuments, as well as processes, audits, incompatibilities and infrastructure ob­jects.
  • The system allows you to view or edit files in a web browser without having to download the file to your compu­ter. During editing, the appropriate file extension and latest copy are automati­cally saved on the server.
  • The document can be assigned to users who are entitled to: review, opinion, or document management (editing).
  • When assigning the rights to the docu­ment a prompt will appear concerning the review requirement, as a result the system will notify all of the persons au­thorized to review it on their Informa­tion Board.
  • Approval of documents is based on providing feedback - the owner of the document needs to point to the desi­gnated persons to give opinions and the system will notify them of this require­ment and the need to perform a review.
Processes
Define and plan processes in a simple and standard-compliant manner and realize them in the most practical way.
Read more...

Proper description of processes will ensure supervision over the smooth functioning of the company and will result in optimization of taking actions. Assigning processes to relevant cells, description of the process, linking to other processes and documentation. The system also provides a process map design using a built-in graphics tool.

The system has a module of processes assi­gned in the form of groups, where each pro­cess can have a defined parent (master) pro­cess as well as input and output processes. Adding more items is real easy.

One of the implementation elements is pro­viding the right structure of the processes, defining and identifying the related processes assigned to the parent one, as well as outlining the documents assigned with the processes.

The process may be linked to documents, products, infrastructure's objects, risks and opportunities, audits, incompatibilities and have other actions assigned.

Nonconformities
Identify and control nonconformities by determining the root cause and implement any corrective action necessary.
Read more...

Supporting registration processes and processing of non-conformities identified within the enterprise. The process is based on the analysis and evaluation of registered comments and conclusions. As a result of this analysis, activities that are short-term and long-term are usually planned and undertaken.

  • Conducting a nonconformity analysis using the 5WHY me­thodology will ensure efficient detection of the cause and make a smooth transition to action planning phase possible.
  • Nonconformity has a specific person assigned and respon­sible for the analysis and leading to the planning of actions, evaluation and closing of nonconformities' tickets.
  • Actions necessary to be taken when the non-compliance occurs can be addressed to any system user. The Executor receives a notification on the Action Information Board concerning the development and required actions to take. After the task is completed, the action must be reported for evaluation. The authorized employee shall evaluate each action separately. These actions will be available in the ge­neral register of system activities, which also includes ac­tions related to the other modules or unrelated actions.
  • The list of nonconformities has a toolbox with a filter resource that allows, among other things, to display incompatibilities according to their status, type or links assigned to the other mo­dules. You can filter the nonconformities in rela­tion to employees and action statuses.
Audits
Conduct efficient and effective audits and use freely definable questionnaires.
Read more...

Monitoring of company processes, planning of audit activities that affect many areas. Audit schedules define the audited area, objectives and detailed scope of monitoring. As a result of audits, conclusions and potential non-conformities are generated. An important element is the system of notifications, which informs all interested persons in the company about planning of audits, the need to carry them out and enter relevant information into the database.

ISO 9001 quality systems involve the planning and implementation of structured activities in order to monitor the company's processes. The system allows one to plan audit activities for the areas such as:

  • Products
  • Activities
  • Processes
  • Documents
  • Objects - e.g. production lines and technology divisions

As a result of audits' planning the company is set up with a so-called audit schedule. One may arrange any desired number of schedu­les during the calendar year. For example, each schedule can be prepared for a selec­ted area such as: product, system, process. It is up to the users to plan the audits in their schedules.

The audits' register can be viewed as a time­line or as a list. Appropriate search settings in the system bar will allow you to filter out audits with the desired status, for a specific audit area or assigned to a selected schedu­le

The audit metric may define the purpose and scope of the audit, the audit's schedule with the audit's location, the au­ditors and a representative (e.g. of the process).

The audit questionnaire allows you to create questions and provide answers to them, and in the report form there is a possibility to register discrepancies.

System's prompts will inform one about tasks to be perfor­med on two levels of the application - in the audit metric it­self and on the user's information board.

Projects
Use the Project module to create and fulfill specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound project objectives.
Read more...

Supporting the enterprise in managing, coordinating and supervising tasks in projects. Tasks have specific priorities and deadlines. We can choose a team for the implementation of projects, for which we will distribute individual tasks.

The Projects module allows one to record implementations, assign relevant people on designated teams, plan activities and conduct various discussions.

Activities
Define Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) to eliminate existing or potential irregularities in the enterprise.
Read more...

Planned and undertaken actions implemented in order to eliminate existing irregularities in the enterprise. The system is equipped with supervision of the implementation of undertaken activities, and also allows motivating employees through active notifications and reminders. The actions taken may and should be subject to individual or periodic verification, as a result of which an assessment of their effectiveness is carried out.

A List of actions include both acti­vities corresponding to the processes carried out (circulation of incompatibilities, risk analy­sis, conducting projects or measurements of indicators) and other unrelated activities (in the form of loosely commissioned ad-hoc tasks). Searching by priority, type or dates of planned completion facilitates work with the register. There are three available views - list, tiled layout or time axis which provides the possibility to present the register in a way convenient for any type of user.

Actions necessary to be taken can be addressed to any system user. The Executor receives a notification on the Action Information Board concerning the development and required actions to take. After the task is completed, the action must be reported for evaluation. The authorized employee shall evaluate each action separately.

All actions are subject to the process of effecti­veness assessment, which guarantees correct completion of the action assigned.

Indicators
Make your processes visible by defining and monitoring your own indicators.
Read more...

Evaluation of processes according to specific criteria in the company. For the process you can specify gauges, define the entire measurement cycle and responsible persons who will receive system messages at appropriate times about the need to complete the result tables.

For the measured indicators, it is possible to determine corrective actions based on reported inconsistent results, and the re­porting system presents a graph of the in­dicator's run. SPC printing is also available for the indicator's graph from the report module.

Risks and opportunities
Get access to risks and opportunities occurring in the enterprise, related to the process, business activity, environmental protection, health and safety.
Read more...

The context of the organization is defined by the analysis of risks and opportunities and the identification of the orga­nization's strengths and weaknesses along with the SWOT analysis.

The system enables the preparation of many types of docu­ments such as risk assessment templates that can be used in the analyses. For a given risk/ opportunity, various analy­ses can be performed at different times.

Reports
Create and manage personalized reports connected to other system modules.
Read more...

The system is equipped with a rea­dy-made set of reports which enable generating of summary data with the possibility of modifying input parame­ters such as: (date, data range, users, etc.).

One of the implementation steps co­uld be preparing an appropriate set of reports dedicated especially for one's company.

Infrastructure
Records of all types of technical facilities in the company.
Read more...

Technical facilities' database. Possibility to create any types of catalogues in a tree structure. Provides records of infra­structure as well as control and measurement tools.

The system allows one to plan reoccurring actions for each of the technical facilities - inspections, calibrations, or services. It also automatically repeats actions with remin­ders to responsible person assigned to the specific task.

The object can be linked to processes, products, and can also be the item of the audit or a project. One may also as­sociate an object with any system documentation or any documentation manual.

Quality Check
The Module provides a record of quality checks performer on site.
Read more...

The control process may concern evaluation of pro­cess indicators such as: (min, max, deviations, tolerances) or visual control (yes/no attribute control).

The information board and the notification system
The information board acts as a user assistant and provides access to the current and latest informa­tion regarding the data processing processes in the Panotica Hydra system.
Read more...

The information board includes a to-do notifica­tion zone broken down into all or important sections (e.g. overdue). It provides a general overview of all of the mo­dules available, presents statistics and guides the user directly to the information he/she is interested in (thanks to the object and event re­direction system).

The information board provides significant support to any user. The possibility of custo­mizing it allows one to select the modules for which it will issue and create reports.
