How do I manage a non-conformity on the tablet?
Encountering a non-conformity during an inspection is an integral part of the day-to-day running of a plant. With Eezytrace, the detection and handling of such situations is made easier thanks to an automatic, guided system. The aim: to help you find a stress-free solution, with full traceability.
1. 📍 When a non-conformity appears
A non-conformity is detected, for example, when the temperature of a storage unit is outside the regulatory limits.
When you close the record, Eezytrace automatically displays a non-conformity form.
This form gathers all the information about the issue.
💡 Remember: a non-conformity does not mean you made a mistake. What matters is taking the necessary action to restore compliance and food safety.
2. 📄 What the non-conformity form contains
The form includes:
a summary of the non-compliant points
suggested corrective actions
the option to add your own corrective action
the option to add a photo to document the non-conformity
3. 👨💼 Validation and follow-up by the manager
From the tablet or the Espace Manager, the manager can:
validate the non-conformity
follow up the corrective actions
make sure the handling complies with internal and regulatory procedures
Case 1: the non-conformity is resolved immediately
When you close the record, the non-conformity form appears.
Enter the corrective action you took (or choose a suggested one).
Change the status from “To be processed” to “Processed”.
Close the form, then the record.
💡 Example: a chocolate mousse must be served between 0 °C and 10 °C. Measured at 12 °C, it is declared non-compliant; you put it back in the fridge, enter the action and set the form to “Processed”.
Case 2: the non-conformity requires action later
For example, a storage unit stays too warm because of a breakdown and a technician has to come.
Close the record to generate the non-conformity form.
Enter the actions already taken: call to maintenance, products quarantined, transfer to another storage unit…
Change the status from “To be processed” to “In progress”: the manager is notified on the tablet and in the Espace Manager.
Close the record to save this information.
After the intervention, the manager validates the non-conformity and closes the case (see Incident menu in the Espace Manager).
💡 Always document the actions taken, even when handling is delayed: it is your proof in case of an inspection.
