MIYOQA / Lifecycle

From sourcing to closure, stage by stage.

The QELM lifecycle carries each part through eight stages, from the customer drawing to the final report, with the required records shown at every gate.

The QELM lifecycle

One lifecycle, from enquiry to closure.

Each part a programme delivers moves through eight stages. Each gate is a decision recorded by name. The gate shows which required records are in place, and an advance over missing ones records what was missing.
