Case Studies / Research and Development Management

Conquer Electronics Co., Ltd.

Building a collaborative R&D management platform to implement standardized R&D processes.

Introduction / Requirements

► Managing project progress through Excel is not easy.

In the past, project managers used Excel to control various research and development projects, which required a lot of manpower to update and adjust project progress, and they couldn't integrate other project information.

► Unable to effectively track project ISSUE progress

Before implementing the system, the research and development team could only communicate via email or record project ISSUES in Excel, leading to frequent oversights and delays in tracking and addressing project ISSUES.

►It was difficult to keep track of the delivery status of output documents.

In the past, project deliverables were scattered among various responsible individuals, making it difficult for project managers or supervisors to track or verify the delivery status. Subsequently, tracing or retrieving historical documents also proved to be time-consuming.

Solutions

► By standardizing the development process through project templates and implementing systematic management,

By implementing the ezteamwork platform, we integrate the previously fragmented R&D processes and data into a single platform for systematic control. This centralizes the schedules, workflows, and deliverables of each project. Additionally, by establishing project templates, we enable the rapid replication and continuation of R&D management systems.

►Centralizing the scheduled delivery documents of each project and reconciling project tasks.

By utilizing the system to centralize the delivery documents of each project and reconcile project tasks, we ensure that team members have delivered the relevant output documents when reporting progress, effectively managing project delivery and output.

► Centralized control and tracking of project issues

Centralize the management of various issues arising during the project process, and meticulously record the type, details, resolution methods, and status of each issue. Supervisors can swiftly track the progress of issue resolution through reports.

►Implementing a signature approval mechanism to review project milestones and deliverables during the review phase.

Whenever each stage of the R&D project process is completed (such as planning, product design and development, engineering/design verification, etc.), the team can submit a request for approval through the system to notify the relevant higher authorities to conduct milestone sign-offs and reviews of deliverables. This establishes a standardized review process mechanism and enhances control convenience.

►Quickly review project progress and pending tasks through monthly reports.

The system allows for the quick generation of monthly progress reports for each stage of the project, as well as lists of outstanding issues and pending tasks. This helps project managers and department heads to view and track the status of projects.
