    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for implementing quality management. An example method comprises receiving, over an electronic network, a first communication from a manufacturer associated with a process. The process is associated with the manufacturer and a supplier. The method further comprises advancing a standard workflow to a new step associated with that standard workflow, in response to receiving the first communication. The method further comprises determining whether the first party uses a custom workflow, and if so, determining an equivalent step on the custom workflow that corresponds to the new step on the standard workflow. The method further comprises sending a second communication to the first party, comprising information associated with the step of advancing and at least one of the new step on the standard workflow or the equivalent step on the custom workflow. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided for implementing similar methods.
