EtQ Project Control Main View
As part of any Quality of Compliance initiative, the ability to complete projects on time and within budget is of key importance to managers. EtQ's Project Control module is designed to organize and automate the process of managing tasks, deliverables and activities within Quality and Compliance projects. Using the Project Control module, Managers are able to outline specific project, whether on an ad-hoc basis or using pre-defined templates such as APQP, PPAP, Six Sigma and more. Using workflowand business rules, the EtQ Project Control Module aids managers in ensuring that the project is kept on track, and
the full cost and impact of the project is recorded.
