Issues Mapping is a critical component of CIMSNex, facilitating the identification, tracking, and management of issues relevant to organizational business services. By systematically mapping and analyzing issues, organizations can proactively address challenges, risks, and concerns that may impact service delivery.
Through the mapping and analysis of issues, organizations can proactively tackle challenges, risks, and concerns that might affect the successful delivery of their services. This also marks the beginning of the risk assessment process, where uncertainties or risks are identified and subsequently evaluated in the subsequent stage. This guide provides a concise overview of the fields involved in mapping Organizational, Service, and Process issues within the organization's context.
Accessing Issues Mapping

Log in to CIMSNex and navigate to the "Context" menu on the navigation bar.

Business Service: Indicates the specific business service to which the issue is mapped. It establishes the link between the issue and the associated service.
-
SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. A strategic framework used to assess a situation by examining its impact on the service and its relation to internal and external factors. For example, strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, while opportunities and threats are external.
-
Issue Reference: Provides options for referencing issues in relation to ISO standard clause requirements. For example, if the issue pertains to competence, then select 'ISO 9001 - 7.2 Competence'; or if the Safety Policy is absent or inadequate, then select 'ISO 45001 - 5.2 OHS Policy'. Refer to the Standard Issue Reference Guide for detailed descriptions.
-
Issue/Uncertainty Description: Detailed information or specific details concerning the issue or uncertainty, thereby adding more context and clarity. For example, the OHS Policy is either not established or has not been communicated.
