LineWorks SQM - Supplier Quality Management
LineWorks SQM is an additional LineWorks SPACE module to manage quality checks and reporting of incoming materials. SQM provides an electronic Certificate of Analysis (eCOA) for the goods receipt.
LineWorks SQM provides a generic quality portal for suppliers, state of the art data tracking with SPC, scheduled quality reports and automated feedback based on the latest specifications for each material. With this B2B extension of LineWorks SPACE the quality of incoming material can be automatically checked and the supplier notified before the physical shipment happens.
