Paradigm 3 is a RISK-BASED Compliance Management Software that can be applied to one or more of the following management systems:-

Quality Management systems (ISO 9001:2015)
Laboratory Management systems (ISO 17025)
Health and Safety Management systems (AS4801, ISO4501)
Food Safety Management system (HACCP etc.)
Environmental Management system (ISO 14001:2015)
Human Resources Management system

By using Paradigm 3, your organisation can build a risk management methodology to suit your needs; for example:

Design a Business Risk Assessment tool to automatically calculate rating. Define each business process/activity and integrate management solutions though out the software. Paradigm 3 is then used to assign tasks from assessments, record actions taken and monitor progress. Set up alerts when high risks are identified as emails or SMS.

In fact, a risk score can be applied to any type of documented information you build in the system.

When raising a customer complaint, incorporate a risk score into the complaint form.
When raising a non-conformance, incorporate a risk score into the non-conformance form.
When raising an accident or incident, incorporate a risk score into the incident form.
When raising an environmental issue, incorporate a risk score into the incident form.

Paradigm 3 has the flexibility and capability to be configured to your exact needs

Paradigm 3’s Style Designer allows administrators to customize the generic styles supplied with the software or design new styles to suit your industry.

Documentation

This module controls all the company management system documentation such as policies, procedures, instructions etc., as well as related evidence and records. Your documentation can be written in Microsoft Word, Excel or other applications. This is the module used for control of documents. Paradigm 3 hosts and controls the application by managing essential issues such as electronic signature, versioning and security restrictions.

Paradigm 3 lets you work directly with the original document and can automatically publish directly to Microsoft SharePoint or to your intranet, to ensure that only the most current version is available.

Records

Many forms or registers have advantages being maintained in database format rather than by a word processor or in spreadsheets. The database designs include items as many pages long as required, with the capability to link to external data, mandatory field control as well as the ability to perform calculations.

Improvement

This module will usually involve managing issues relating to improvement or corrective action disciplines. As such, it incorporates a disciplined process flow methodology where each page must be completed by an assigned responsible person before the next page can be started. Users are automatically notified as the form progresses through each stage. Completed stages are locked and a Progress Tracker tool summaries the activities from start to finish. The database designs include items as many pages long as required, with the capability to link to external data, mandatory field control as well as the ability to perform calculations.

Training

This module manages staff training from planning through to completion – it maintains records of qualifications, licences, internal and external training activities. The added feature is that Paradigm 3 can link training against management system documentation. The database designs include items as many pages long as required, with the capability to link to external data, mandatory field control and the ability to perform calculations.

Users

The User Module is the back-bone to the overall operating system of Paradigm 3. It manages Roles and accountability so that Action Items can be issued.

Action Items

This module keeps everybody informed of their management system responsibilities and accountability by issuing notifications in the form of Action Items. In Paradigm 3, Action Items are more than a notification that can be ignored – they become a record that is retained in the system. Users must acknowledge Action Items and completed tasks are then permanently attached to the associated item as evidence that the task has been done. Action Items are triggered by setting Events that sit dormant until that trigger is reached. Administrators can configure the Events and construct the Action Item content. A trigger may be when a schedule date is reached or when a document is approved.
