Streamlined Workflow Management with ProductVision®
The ProductVision Workflow Module simplifies the execution and tracking of workflow approval commonly encountered in product development. Workflow approval includes new product creation, reformulation projects, competitive analysis studies, and raw material replacement projects. By integrating and optimizing your business processes, the Workflow Module enhances efficiency and accountability.
Enhanced Collaboration and Communication
Using a concept of tasks and email, all participants in the approval process are actively involved, accelerating product development. The ProductVision Workflow Module ensures tasks are routed to the right individuals based on your business rules, preventing tasks from slipping through the cracks and eliminating paperwork.
Key Features of the Workflow Module
Customizable Workflow Steps
Workflows can contain any number of steps, each with associated actions and approvals. For each step, the process creator defines actions to be taken at the beginning, during, and end. For example, a starting action might be assigning a task to department members and describing the required action. The Workflow Notification Service promptly informs participants of new tasks on their desktops.
Unlimited Workflow Creation
The Workflow Module allows you to create workflows anywhere in the system, including raw materials, formulas, and projects. You can create as many workflows as needed to match your business processes. For instance, raw material approval processes can vary by location and involve different personnel.
Automated Workflow Approval Process Reduces Paperwork
ProductVision will notify participants when they need to take action. Task or email notifications will specify the desired action and include attachments such as reports, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents.
Modeling Complex Processes
The Workflow Module enables you to model complex processes with features like "go to" branching, conditional step execution, chaining multiple approval processes, and user-defined script execution.
Simplify Working with Workflow Approval on the Web
Running workflow processes and required approvals can be managed in browser-based ProductVision.NET, thus expanding visibility to your entire organization – even employees who are not otherwise ProductVision users.
Simultaneous Workflow Initiation
When combined with the ProductVision Project Tracking Module, multiple workflows can be initiated simultaneously for a project. For example, launching a new product might involve:
- Developing recipes in the R&D department
- Approving new raw material purchases in the Purchasing department
- Creating Safety Data Sheets, nutrition facts panels, and ingredient declarations in the Regulatory department
- Specifying manufacturing equipment requirements in the Production department
