Who Can Benefit from MasterControl ENG™

• Product Development & Engineering: MasterControl efficiently manages the continual deluge of product spec iterations and keeps manufacturing, purchasing, document control, and the supply chain up to date. Design engineers can continue to work in the CAD environments where they are most familiar without running the risk of non-compliance or hampering the development cycle.

• Manufacturing/Operations: MasterControl ensures that documents crucial to manufacturing processes are always up to date. Manufacturing and operations personnel are connected by MasterControl earlier in the development process. The MasterControl system gives them the capability to provide input that inevitably reduces manufacturing costs and lines up the supply chain more rapidly.

• Quality: MasterControl provides quality professionals with more insight into the development process and resulting documentation, areas where there is generally a lack of control. MasterControl can be used to properly maintain a rapidly evolving AVL and make certain it is used appropriately.

• Purchasing: MasterControl gives purchasing departments a single source for product specifications and approved vendor information. Managers have an overview of changes in processes and can utilize the system to enhance efficiency and prevent rework or scrapped product. MasterControl gives users the assurance that purchasing decisions are always based on correct and up-to-date data.

• Management: MasterControl ENG can provide a comprehensive solution for any organization regardless of existing in-house capabilities. Whether the organization simply needs training on the system's functionality or requires assistance configuring the system to specific needs, ENG can be packaged with any level of service and support the organization requires. An organization lacking knowledge of particular requirements that must be addressed can have MasterControl's expert advisory team analyze the circumstances and develop and clearly map out those requirements.
