Project Scope – Is
and Is Not
CTS is CTS is NOT
• Designed for companies that make parts
(OEM, T1, T2, etc.)
• A little better than spreadsheets
• Organizations that make parts
• Not designed for R&D Tech Centers
with system, subsystem, assembly, and
component tracking requirements
• Not an ERP or QMS or PLM app

Software Scope

Bridging the Gap

Flexibility
• The design strategy was based on “I like
Spreadsheets, I like the flexibility and ability to
customize.”
• Do not force automatic updates on anything!
• When in doubt, a human decides, not the software.
• Company preferences are configured and reusable
