QWORKS · QUALITY LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

QWorks runs the quality lifecycle on one shared operating model.

Quality activities change; the task, decision, deadline, evidence and authorisation model does not. QWorks Complaint runs on this structure today; the expanding platform scope preserves the same data and operational integrity.

QWorks Complaint takes customer, product, lot/serial and shipment context from enterprise systems and runs the case, task, decision and evidence chain on the same platform.
SHARED DATA CONTEXT

Defined once. It strengthens every quality decision.

In QWorks, customer, product, process, supplier, standard and lot/serial are not merely record fields. They are shared context carrying the same identity and history across modules. Pick an object; see the relationships it forms across the quality lifecycle.

SHARED CONTEXT
Customer
The customer is carried as a single corporate context together with specific requirements, communication routes, SLA expectations and past quality performance.
QUALITY PROCESSES IT RELATES TO
QWorks ComplaintWhen a case opens, customer-specific requirements, communication route and SLA profile are carried into the same context

Audit Management · developing portfolioCustomer audits and follow-up findings will be related in the same customer view
Reporting and visibilityCustomer quality performance is produced from operations data without separate collection
The Mechanics of the Operation

Context is established as the record opens. Methodology does not live in a separate application.

A quality operation has two critical moments: the context a case is opened with, and where the methodology actually runs. QWorks places both on the backbone.

Context uniting on a single caseCustomer, product, lot and shipment context unite on a single case the moment the record is opened, and the case becomes work with deadlines.CONTEXTWORK WITH DEADLINESCustomerProduct · revisionLot / serialShipmentSINGLE CASEContext in placeContainmentSuspect stockContext is established the moment the record is opened.

It prevents the affected scope being researched by hand days later, and a case being run against the wrong lot.

Methodology running on a shared backboneEach 8D/CAPA step runs on a single backbone made up of task, routing, SLA, evidence, standards and guidance capabilities.8D / CAPAD1–D3team · containmentD4root causeD5–D6permanent actionD7–D8verificationSHARED OPERATIONAL BACKBONETask · Routing · SLA · Evidence · StandardEvery step runs on the same backbone.

It prevents the 8D staying in a form, the tasks in a spreadsheet and the escalation in someone’s personal reminder.

Platform Scope

Start with one module. Widen on the same backbone.

QWorks is deployed in a controlled way, starting from your priority quality process. Every new solution area builds on the same data model, authorisation structure and shared platform capabilities; the organisation gains not a new system but an expanding scope of the platform it already has.

Enterprise Deployment and Data Control

Four layers. All of them inside your own boundary.

QWorks adapts to your on-premise deployment, corporate identity, authorisation and integration policies. From data residency to the rollout model, every layer is shaped together with your organisation’s security and governance requirements.

Frequently Asked

The first questions from IT and enterprise architecture.

The six most common questions on deployment, data ownership, identity and integration.

Does QWorks replace our existing ERP, MES, PLM or quality system?

No. Those systems keep master data ownership. QWorks uses the customer, product, production and document context it needs to run the quality event in a controlled way, and relates the outcome back to the relevant systems and processes.

Where is it installed? Where does our data sit?

QWorks is designed for on-premise deployment and can be placed on your own servers. Data residency, access, backup and operating responsibilities are scoped at project start against your IT and information security standards.

How does it work with our corporate identity and authorisation structure?

User, role, department and organisation information is handled in line with your corporate directory. Authorisation is applied by evaluating role, organisation and data context together, and behaves identically in every module.

How much integration work is there? Can we start without connecting every system?

Yes. You start with the minimum integration required for the first value hypothesis; the architecture expands in stages. Which information stays mastered in which system is clarified together during discovery.

Do we need to take all modules at once?

No. You start from your priority quality process. The module in use today is QWorks Complaint; new areas come into play on the same data, authorisation and operations backbone.

How can we review security and architecture details?

Deployment topology, environment separation, logging and audit trail, backup and version management are shared in detail during a technical session and the RFI process.
