Welcome to our **Getting Started with QCD Module** guide!

This guide is designed to help you quickly understand and navigate the key features of QCD.

**What is the QCD module**? In a Lean Manufacturing environment, performance management and continuous improvement are essential. These ensure competitiveness and efficiency. The QCD module in iObeya is a digital tool for performance tracking. It supports SQCDP (Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery, People) or +QDCI (Quality, Delivery, Cost, Involvement) methods.

This module:

- offers an intuitive interface for data entry.
- facilitates decision-making through corrective action escalation.
- displays and shares results based on predefined indicators.
- helps digitize existing physical boards while integrating data with your information systems via an API.

> [!WARNING]
> Warning:
> 
> QCD module needs to be enabled beforehand by the Platform administrator via the administration interface. See [Managing Add-Ons](https://center.iobeya.com/wp-content/uploads/doc/master-administration-guide/html/en/administration-guide/configuring-platform.html#managing-add-ons) to find out more.

These features help teams visualize short and long-term performance. They also enhance their ability to drive continuous improvement effectively.

To get started, view the [QCD glossary](/product/docs/glossary-of-the-qcd-module) for specific terminology.

User with the highest level of access and control within the platform. This role is responsible for managing the entire platform, including configuring settings, managing users and permissions, organizing rooms and domains. The platform administrator oversees all administrative tasks and maintains the overall integrity of the organization's iObeya instance.
