Authors: K. Barlow and R. Presley

2. Current Cover Sheet System
 The current Cover Sheet is a communication tool for
dispatching problem information from person to person
within a facility/division
 Problem Identifiers route the MPF to Designated
Reviewers
 Designated Reviewers route the reviewed MPF to
Problem Management (PM)
 The Cover Sheet helps us meet the SY10 timeframe
requiring that a problem be logged in SmartCAPA within
5 business days from discovery
 Each Division has their own version of the Cover Sheet

3. Why a Standardized Cover Sheet?

PM and Quality Assurance (QA)
 Communicates standard problem information between
Facilities and Divisions
 Supports the standardized Problem Management model
through additional functionality
 Allows MRB / 48 hour notification
 Manages workload and mailboxes
