LineWorks SQM – Supplier Quality Management
Quality standard improvement on the supply chain
This add-on module for LineWorks SPACE helps you collaborate with your subcontractors and suppliers at production sites all over the world to implement, verify, and continuously improve quality standards for the entire value stream. This enables you efforts for incoming quality control (IQC) to be reduced or even eliminated in case of your trusted suppliers. Well before the goods are despatched, the suppliers send their outgoing goods specific quality data to your facility. The quality data will automatically be checked by SQM. The suppliers will immediately be notified about SQM's analyses results and get back from you an electronic Certificate of Analysis (eCOA), which is your online approval order for physical shipment of the goods. In this way,nogoods arephysically transported, whichdo not meet your qualityrequirements.
