From concept to production—without losing track. Coordinate stage-gate milestones, engineering reviews and launch readiness across teams.
DEMETER ICT provides Asana licensing, workflow implementation and consulting for manufacturers across APAC.

Separate trackers make the real project status hard to see.
One delayed decision can hold up the next stage.
Teams need a clear answer before pilot or production.
Give every gate an owner, deadline and decision checkpoint.


R&D, Engineering, Quality, Procurement and Production can see their responsibilities and what comes next.
Track samples, qualification and site readiness across APAC—without replacing your procurement system.


Assign impact reviews and follow open actions before a change affects production.
Coordinate trial preparation, quality findings, corrective actions and production sign-off.
Know who is accountable for each action.
Find delayed gates before they affect the plan.
Use consistent project templates across programs.
We build around your actual NPD/NPI workflow—not a generic project template.
Select the right Asana plan and seats.
Map gates, owners and approvals.
Configure projects and reporting.
Support teams through adoption.

Asana is a work management platform that manufacturers can use to coordinate NPD and NPI project tasks, milestones, dependencies, owners and review activities across teams. It helps organize the work linking R&D, engineering, procurement, quality and production. It is not a production control system or a replacement for ERP, PLM or MES.
Yes. Teams can create reusable projects that represent concept, development, testing, pilot, readiness and launch stages. Tasks, milestones, dependencies, status fields and approvals can support structured gate reviews. The exact stages and gate authorities should be configured to match the manufacturer’s process; gate decisions are made by authorized people.
Yes, as project work. Teams can track sample requests, material approval actions, procurement checkpoints, assigned owners and readiness deadlines. Asana is not a purchasing, inventory or supplier master-data platform. Automatically synchronizing supplier or material records depends on the external system and any separately scoped integration.
Asana can coordinate change-review tasks, impact-assessment assignments, review deadlines and approval steps. It should not be presented as a substitute for a PLM or QMS that maintains controlled BOM and CAD revisions or regulated records. Formal engineering authority and revision management remain in the designated systems.
No. Asana is best positioned as a work coordination layer across departments and projects. ERP, PLM, MES and QMS platforms have specialist responsibilities, such as transactional records, controlled specifications, shop-floor execution and quality records. Integrations should be assessed individually based on APIs, security requirements and scope.
Starter can suit teams focused on structured projects, task ownership, templates and automation. Advanced is worth evaluating for portfolio visibility, workload and approval workflows. Enterprise plans add administration, security and capacity management capabilities. Feature availability and license terms should be confirmed against current Asana plans before purchase.
Yes. DEMETER ICT can advise on licensing while separately scoping NPD/NPI workflow consulting, Asana configuration, training and optimization. The implementation proposal depends on the number of teams, the process complexity, expected deliverables and any integrations or governance requirements.
