An intelligent module level home page welcomes user to the module with all compliance options available in the module on left side menu. This home page shows quality objectives for the department, available / recently changed documents, real time graphical analysis on the basis of data / information captured in the system, alerts for pending tasks, quick links for common / regular tasks etc. Module level help is also given at appropriate places.
1. Define the raw materials / products / consumables / services you purchase so that you can control them effectively in purchase module. In quality module, you can define incoming inspection quality plan and incoming inspection quality records for these raw materials / products / consumables / services.
2. Define the product/services/projects for the organization. All of your project/service/production/execution planning will be for the products / services you define here.

It also allows to capture tracking against each parameters.
13. Procedures and forms related to Operation can be captured in documented information module.
14. Users can also define various quality objectives, add plan to achieve objectives and track objectives for achievement.
