Case Studies / Research and Development Management
Building context/challenges.
► Changing work habits and workflows through collaborative operations to share information.
Due to each research and development unit being responsible for multiple projects, and each unit having its own management system, the lack of standardization in research and development processes and data management makes it difficult for management to grasp project progress in real-time. To consolidate progress, it is necessary to track progress from each unit and then integrate this progress data, resulting in a significant time cost.
► Lack of Systematic Management for Research and Development Knowledge and Documents
For the research and development unit, a large amount of experimental data and documentations are crucial knowledge assets for the company. Therefore, JINTEX hopes to establish document management regulations to ensure that personnel centralize research and development documents according to established procedures, while also adhering to standardized processes.
Solutions
Establishing standardized research and development processes.
By utilizing a system to centrally manage project data across all units and establishing a standardized research and development process mechanism, new research and development projects can be quickly initiated using templates. This approach not only ensures unified access to project information but also guarantees that project execution processes adhere to standardized procedures.
► progress reports can be generated to suit specific needs and requirements.
Through the system's customizable reports, managers can quickly grasp the current progress of all research and development projects, instantly track the number of samples sent by each research and development department, the number of completed cases, etc. Differential analysis can also be conducted, and the statistical report information can be regarded as crucial decision-making basis.
► Research and development document and knowledge asset preservation and recording
Through the system, standard research and development procedures are established to digitize various experiment processes and deliverable documents. This includes information such as recorded experiment processes, formulations, quantities used, outcomes, etc. Version control is implemented to ensure the correctness of research and development document versions and to link them to their sources. This serves as a future reference for experiential knowledge and facilitates information retrieval and traceability.
Benefits of implementation.
► Establishing standardized procedures to perpetuate research and development knowledge and experience.
By establishing standardized project protocols and templates, effective management and comprehensive preservation of project history and information can be achieved. This accumulation of rich project experience and knowledge serves as the foundation for future research and development endeavors.
► Clear understanding of project progress and performance.
By utilizing the system to quickly generate statistical reports, managers can promptly ascertain the current status of each research and development project. This enables them to allocate resources appropriately and understand the performance of various departments involved in research and development.
► Effective assistance in passing ISO audits.
In addition to achieving effective internal document management within the organization, it also ensures compliance with ISO standards in processes and execution records. During audits, required documents can be quickly accessed to provide evidence, facilitating both internal and external audits.
