Status flow and messaging on the product · SRM training
Audio narration · listen first
The status flow shows which stage a product is at, from design to bulk production. If team and supplier messages are also kept on the same product, the answer to "what's the status of this style?" is in one place. Information left in phone calls and messaging apps never reaches anyone's screen.
In this part
- You learn to read the status bar and the "Latest Status" information.
- You see how sample rounds and approvals move through the status flow.
- You understand why it matters to write news from the workshop or an overseas supplier into the product record.
- You learn that after a revision, the right version of the tech pack must always go to the supplier.
