Quality Management
In a business, it is necessary that you provide your customers with good quality products. In order to offer good quality products, the business has to conduct several quality checks, prior to bringing final. The products must be evaluated in different stages so as to assure its standard compliance. This concept is more relevant to the manufacturing business, as the industry is involved with the production process. Utilizing Odoo, one can set quality check at different stages in different ways.
For that install Quality module.
First view of the quality module is a Quality Overview; it is a Kanban view of the Quality Teams.
If a company has multiple teams for quality check, Odoo allows to create multiple quality teams. From the Overview, the user can analyze the overall status and the work progress of each quality team.
