LineWorks CQM – Automated Quality Management for Outgoing Materials

LineWorks CQM is an add-on module for LineWorks SPACE that automates electronic Certificates of Analysis (eCoA) generation, enhancing quality assurance across your supply chain. It provides a standardized process to create customizable certificates, streamlines the quality management process, and builds customer trust through reliable documentation.

LineWorks CQM allows manufacturers to compile quality data from internal production processes and suppliers. Once collected into LineWorks SPACE, the data is automatically processed and compiled into eCoAs, significantly reducing manual customization efforts. This automation accelerates the eCoA generation process, ensuring consistent, error-free certificates.

Ensuring consistent product quality while meeting customer-specific requirements in the manufacturing industry is a significant challenge. Managing complex supply chains and diverse production sites adds another layer of difficulty. Traditional quality management processes rely on manual steps, leading to inefficiencies and increased risk of errors. Without an automated solution, manufacturers may struggle with common issues, such as:

Manual Effort in Certificate Creation

Time-consuming, heavily dependent on manual input, possibly delaying certificate generation and delivery.

Multi-Site Management Complexity

It’s a challenge to coordinate outgoing materials across multiple production sites and ensuring uniform quality without a centralized control.

Compliance with Customer Requirements

Meeting varying quality specifications across different customers requires flexibility and a tailored approach.

Integration with External Systems

Lack of seamless integration with customer portals or ERP systems can result in data silos and hinder real-time quality reporting.
