ProductVision Projects Module (PM) Module provides the tools you need to track and control R&D projects. This flexible module has functions that allow you to automate many different project types, including new product development, raw material evaluations and competitive analysis. The Projects Module also allows you to create electronic laboratory notebooks, product line MSDSs and product labels.

Tracking of R&D Projects
Users may create projects with an unlimited number of dependent “sub-projects”. The Workflow Module may be used to automate the project workflow. For example, let’s assume you want to develop a new product based upon a customer request. For this, you might want to create related “sub-projects” to develop the required Regulatory documents, product data sheets, and production information. Each level of the project may have independent requirements, tracking dates, transactions and approval routing workflow.

                                      Example Project Workflow

View Critical Project Information on “My Projects” Window
The My Projects window shows active Project information from the highest level on the Summary Tab down to lowest workflow step detail on the Workflow Details Tab.



The graphs on the Summary tab provide an overview of how many projects are within budget and schedule targets and those which are lagging. You can easily drill-down to view specific project information simply by clicking on the Projects, Projects Workflow, and Workflow Detail Tabs. The Project Workflow Tab shows important Project and associated workflow information, allowing you to immediately see the status of a project.

Samples and Other Transactions
The Projects Module allows you to enter and track any type of transaction that may occur. This could include sample shipments, phone calls, mailings, “to-do” items, etc. A special Transaction Query simplifies maintenance of these transactions.  For more robust sample tracking duties, you can choose to use the Sample Module.

Meet Customer Specifications
Required specifications from the trading partner (customer/vendor) can be entered on the project explicitly, or they can be inherited from the trading partner. This ensures that the project results meet the customer’s stated requirements.

Electronic Laboratory Notebook Specifications
The Projects Module contains all of the information necessary for the creation of an “electronic notebook” which can either replace or supplement your current lab notebook. When combined with other internal procedures, (user login control, database security, etc.) the Projects Module provides a system that meets the FDA’s 21CFR11 Electronic Signature Guarantee statute.
