Deviation Management

Organizations that report more deviations perform better

It sounds backwards, but it's true. AmpliFlow makes it easy to capture, follow up, and learn from every deviation β€” turning problems into improvements.

Manufacturing, services, or public sector. AmpliFlow handles deviations across all industries.

The Deviation Paradox

Why organizations with the most deviations are the healthiest

Most people assume that few deviations mean high quality. But the truth is the opposite: organizations with few reported deviations often have a culture that hides problems, not a business without them.

False calm

2–3

deviations per month

Problems are fixed informally or swept under the rug. The same mistakes repeat. Auditors ask questions. The costs are hidden but real.

Real visibility

15–20

deviations per month

Employees feel safe to report. Problems are caught early. Patterns become visible. Root causes get addressed. The organization learns and improves.

"Before AmpliFlow, we had maybe 2-3 reported deviations per month. Now we get 15-20, and that's good! It means we find and fix problems before they become expensive."

FAQ

Questions about deviation management

Common questions from organizations looking to get started.

Can we customize the deviation form?

Yes. You create your own form templates with the fields that suit your business. Different templates for production deviations, customer complaints, and audit findings. Each deviation gets an auto-generated number.

How does the workflow work?

Deviations follow a defined flow: Registered β†’ Analysing β†’ Acting β†’ Verifying β†’ Closed. You can add custom activities within each step. At closure, you select a reason: Resolved Fully, Resolved Partially, No Actions Taken, Not Actionable, or Postponed.

Does it meet ISO requirements?

Yes. ISO 9001 (8.7, 10.2), ISO 14001 (10.2), and ISO 45001 (10.2) all require documented deviation management with root cause analysis and corrective actions. AmpliFlow covers all requirements with full traceability.

Can all employees report deviations?

Yes β€” and that's the entire point. The more people who report, the better picture you get of reality. AmpliFlow makes it easy to report with customizable forms and clear instructions.

How are deviations linked to processes?

Each deviation can be linked to the process where it was discovered and the process where it originated. This gives you insight into where problems actually come from β€” not just where they surface.

Can we import existing deviations?

Yes. You can bulk import deviations via Excel so you get started without losing history. Export reports for management review or external audits.
