Practical selection and implementation

Architecture

The diagram presented in the fig. 1, describes the system's architecture with all of its subsystems included. The Web Access to Views/Tabs of System represents the main access' channel; this access can be performed using any Internet browser. In addition, with the back-end application that runs the system. Users and groups' participants defined by category and profile are the users that are only able to access. The Web Services' module makes available the system through the web. The Coordinator Module is the system's core where organizes all in-out operations in an overall perspective. The Management and Security module controls every operation within a security scope, and also manages and coordinates the different collaborative modules/subsystems of the infrastructure.

Dashboard, Workflow, and Part's Tracking are the integrated collaborative subsystems. The Database is a common repository of all records that are being uploaded to the system. The Online Access to Data Warehouse (DWH) and OLAP Tools module is a complementary subsystem that performs information retrieval (IR), historic analysis, and knowledge discovery for Executives and Analysis usually, but not restrictively.
