Paper-based processes: Efficiency killers in production
International competitive pressure, cost pressure, a shortage of skilled workers and increasing demands from customers or regulations are constantly interfering with the corporate value creation process.
Especially in production processes such as maintenance, assembly, quality inspection, etc., these rapidly increasing challenges must be mastered. Despite all the difficulties, your operational employees ensure added value for your company day after day.
The status quo in production
While industrial companies have already understood
that digitalization can help them meet the high demands, production employees continue to work with
paper-based work instructions and checklists.
The status quo in production is often as follows:
Too much paper in production
High manual effort
No standardized process knowledge
The problems through paper-based work instructions
Work instructions created in Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. and printed out on paper prove to be very inflexible in practice. This combination of MS Office and paper-based processes leads to a number of operational problems and disadvantages:
Our employees' time is precious. They shouldn't have to use it searching through documents.
Project Engineer Process Excellence, KraussMaffei
All of this prevents manufacturing companies from establishing more efficient and high-performance production processes to increase company growth.
The good news: digital work instructions can be used to digitize employee-led activities and provide more comprehensible information as a real game changer in production.
Digital work instructions...
... are characterized by the fact that work steps are simply displayed using images and videos and interactive elements such as mandatory interactions guide the employee safely through the process.
Workers who carry out their activities using digital work instructions report enormous simplifications and increased safety in process execution and appreciate the ease of use of the multilingual software.
