Paper Kills: Eliminate Paper Constraints
Does it feel like you are always chasing down a piece of paper? These days, it is more than just filling out paperwork that can be a struggle on the shop floor. Now you have to worry about tracking, logging and ensuring that paper gets routed to the right places.
In addition, there are quite a few administrative processes that go along with a paper-based system. For one, re-engineering your business practices is required to take full advantage of emerging technologies and eliminate the barriers that are created by paper. Besides eliminating paperwork, you will also see:
- Improvements to the user interface
- Streamlining of processes for continuous flows
- Elimination of nonvalue-added steps
- Empowerment of the workforce
Solumina eliminates the need for paper documents on the shop floor. It also removes the clerical work that is required to update, distribute and replace out-of-date documents. Our manufacturing software radically improves the efficiency of facilities’ shop floors.
If jumping into a paperless shop floor is too extreme, Solumina also supports a paper-lite phase to help transition shop floors to paperless processes. In addition to reducing paperwork and the costs associated with maintaining a paper-based system, Solumina’s enhanced work instructions greatly reduce learning curves and the potential for mistakes. As a result, operators spend more time doing the jobs they were trained to do, instead of looking for documents and waiting for corrections or repair instructions.
