Love your deviations – and manage them in Boards on Fire!

We are launching our new deviation module, which comes fully equipped with everything you need to manage deviations in all areas of the business. With the connection to the improvement module, the entire flow from deviation to implemented improvement is seamlessly managed.

Deviations can be managed in several different views, such as the classic Safety Cross, calendar view, or an overview view.

Manage multiple deviations per day

It is now easy to manage each deviation as its own case – they are indexed and given a unique serial number. This makes it easy to create and manage multiple deviations per day! Below is an example of three registered deviations on June 18.

Handling state

Since each deviation becomes a unique case, they are also assigned a state depending on where you are in the handling process. This makes it easy to get an overview of your deviation progress.

Easy to create deviations - for operators especially

We have built this module with all tiers in mind. We want to capture all the organization's deviations – and that requires a simple but seamless form! Therefore, the creation flow is very easy. Select the component that handles the type of deviation you want to register (e.g., Quality) and click “+ New deviation.” Here, only a Severity level and title need to be filled in – then the deviation can be created!

You can easily do this via your phone in roughly 10 seconds.

Deviation flow

After the deviation is created, it can be further processed. We will go through this flow in more detail in an upcoming blog post, but as you can see in the image below, there is a seamless flow for handling.

Connection to improvement work

Now you get the entire flow from deviation to implemented improvement in Boards on Fire. Create the deviation based on a component in Boards on Fire, maybe a deviating KPI figure, and follow the entire deviation flow. Then create improvement actions to ensure that the deviation does not occur again! Everything is interconnected, and you can see the link between deviations and improvements.

Deviation statistics

In addition to the deviation module, we added a component for deviation statistics. Now you can see how many deviations have been registered and handled. They can also be grouped in different ways. In the fall of 2024, we will further develop this with an additional view for more detailed statistics.
