Their quantity and structure depend on type of the project of development or modification of the selected product which may contain such stages as creation of design documentation, carrying out bench and industrial tests, setting on production.

Passing of each control point is confirmed by approval in a system, i.e. any corrections can be made to the project, having only created the change request. The solution allows to return on any stage of the project, irrespective of a current status (for example, for completion of the project documentation based on bench tests), but at the same time does not allow the admission of any control point provided by the project plan. In addition in a system the module of accounting of labor costs on each employee who will allow to keep account of actually spent working time by projects and control points on hours is supposed and also to consider loading of employees on interproject works.

For this reason we implemented an end-to-end system of accounting: now all process on creation, approval of the request and development of the equipment is regulated and is conducted in an automated system based on Microsoft SharePoint. Thanks to it each head can look at the project status at any moment that allows us to assess a situation by each order in time".
