Hi T***r, Glad you asked,here’s a bit more color ahead of Thursday’s call: 1.

It replaced manual spreadsheets and now automates 80% of our audit workflows (scheduling, checklists, corrective-action tracking). • Customization & Support: The solution is fully configurable,checklists, risk-scoring rules and escalation paths can be tailored by region or business unit. We have an in-house analytics team plus a vendor-backed support desk offering SLAs on enhancements and troubleshooting. • KPI Dashboards: Built on P***I, our live dashboards surface 20+ metrics,audit completion rates, non-conformity aging, training uptake, HES incident trends, supply-chain KPIs and more. You’ll have drag-and-drop access to slice and dice data, set up automated alerts and roll out new metrics in days. 2. Regional Team Size & Structure • Core Team (~12 FTEs): , 3 Regional Compliance Managers covering Gulf, North Africa and East Africa , 4 Country Compliance Officers embedded in our top markets , 2 Audit Coordinators who run quarterly self-assessments , 2 Data Analysts driving dashboard development , 1 Training & Change-Management Lead • Organizational Chart: You’ll lead this MEA compliance & excellence group, liaising closely with Supply Chain, Production and HES heads in each region. • Reporting Line: You report directly to our Vice President of G***e (based in London) and sit on the MEA Leadership Team alongside the Regional COO and Head of Operations.

Hi T***r, Great questions,here’s a bit more color: 1. Audit Platform Integration • We leverage native connectors into M***P, complemented by API feeds and nightly ETL jobs, so transactional data (work orders, procurement, inventory, incident logs) flows automatically into the audit system. • We also pull in HRIS and HES records for full visibility on training completions and safety events. Most feeds are real-time or updated every few hours, ensuring your dashboards always reflect the latest data. • From the user’s perspective, you can launch an audit checklist directly from GP, drill into the underlying transaction in one click, and even trigger corrective-action workflows that write back to GP. 2. Training & Change-Management Lead Collaboration • Our Lead partners one-to-one with each Country Compliance Officer to co-design the roll-out. They translate global KPIs into region-specific targets, build tailored A***r/U***y modules, and run train-the-trainer workshops. • We follow a structured adoption cadence: weekly check-ins to review engagement metrics, quick-win clinics to iron out issues, and iterative updates based on country feedback. • This close collaboration ensures officers become local “dashboard champions,” accelerating both initial uptake and ongoing KPI expansion. Looking forward to walking through this on Thursday at 2:00 PM Saudi time. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like beforehand! Best regards, J***e

Hi T***r, Great questions , happy to give you a high-level view ahead of Thursday’s call: 1. Data Governance & Quality Framework • Governance Charter & Stewards: We operate under a formal Data Governance Charter, with designated data stewards in each region who own quality rules, definitions and change controls. • Automated Quality Checks: Every real-time feed (GP, HRIS, HES) passes through our ETL layer, where we run validation rules on completeness, consistency and business-rule compliance. Exceptions trigger automated alerts to the stewardship team for immediate resolution. • Metadata & Lineage Tracking: We maintain a centralized metadata catalog that documents source systems, transformation logic and data flows end-to-end. This allows you to trace any KPI or audit finding back to its originating transaction in GP, HRIS or HES with a single click. 2. Corrective-Action & RCA Process • Structured CAPA Workflows: When an audit or incident flags a non-conformity, our platform auto-generates a CAPA ticket with a standardized RCA template (5-Whys/Fishbone) and assigns clear due-dates for root-cause identification and preventive-measure proposals. • SLA-Driven Escalation: We enforce SLAs,RCAs must be submitted within 10 business days and preventive-action plans within 15. Missed deadlines automatically escalate to regional leadership dashboards and trigger weekly follow-up reminders. • Cross-Regional QA Forum: Once actions are logged, our monthly Q***m (chaired by the VP of Global Compliance) reviews RCA trends, approves preventive measures and ensures consistent roll-out across all markets. Progress is tracked on your live KPI dashboards, so you’ll always see closure rates and action effectiveness in real time. I hope this gives you a clear sense of our controls and processes. Looking forward to unpacking more on Thursday at 2:00 PM Saudi time,let me know if you’d like any additional prep materials beforehand. Best, J***e

Hi T***r, Great questions , here’s how we measure and embed continuous improvement: 1. Data-Quality KPIs & Benchmarks • Completeness Rate: % of required fields populated on every feed (target ≥98%). • Accuracy/Error Rate: Number of validation exceptions per 10,000 records (target <2%). • Timeliness/Freshness: % of feeds ingested within agreed SLA window (target ≥95%). • Reconciliation Delta: Variance between source systems (GP vs. HES vs. HRIS) tracked monthly, with a shrinking trend line. • Exception Resolution Time: Average days-to-close data anomalies (target <3 business days). We monitor all of these on our live P***I dashboards, establish monthly benchmarks, and drive improvement sprints when any metric dips below threshold. 2. CAPA-Driven Systemic Change • Trend Analysis & Preventive Measures: We aggregate RCA categories regionally and globally to identify repeat non-conformities. Top issues feed into a Preventive-Action Library that all regions must adopt. • SLA Escalations & Governance Forum: RCAs are due in 10 days and preventive plans in 15. Missed targets automatically escalate to regional leadership, and our monthly Q***m vets and endorses changes for roll-out. • Continuous Feedback Loop: Outcomes from closed CAPAs feed directly into update cycles for SOPs, audit checklists and training modules,so every lesson learned becomes a new standard practice. 3. Data-Steward Training & Empowerment • ISO Calibration Workshops: All stewards complete a certification bootcamp covering ISO 9001:2015 interpretations, regional regulatory nuances and our governance charter. We refresh this training quarterly. • Community of Practice: Stewards join monthly peer calls to discuss edge cases, share rulings on local‐vs. global requirements and align on change controls. • Direct Authority & Change Controls: Each steward is empowered to approve minor local adaptations under our formal change‐control process, with any divergence documented in our centralized metadata catalog and reviewed by the global governance team. I hope this gives you a clear view of our metrics and governance approach.
