Who can do what in Automotive QMS
Assign inspection, review, corrective action, audit and document decisions to the right people.
How permissions work
Named work
Each inspection and corrective action points to a person so the next owner is visible.
Separate review
Quality Reviewer decides inspection results and tests corrective action effectiveness independently of the person who performed the work.
Controlled access
Admin maintains the users and people that support assignments; business decisions stay with the operating roles.
