How Can Document Management Reduce Manufacturing Errors?

 

In manufacturing, one small misstep early can lead to big obstacles later. To curb problems, manufacturers rely on a variety of quality control systems, product and inventory tracking, and compliance regulations.

For many manufacturers, the above safeguards are paper-based processes. To reduce manufacturing errors, your safeguards should be digitized.

​

By bringing a digital document management solution into your manufacturing operation, you’re able to improve efficiency and accuracy in your operations while also saving resources and time.

​

Here are three areas where digital documentation helps manufacturers:

​

1. Knowledge Supports Compliance

When chaos rules, contractual disagreements, patent and Product Liability cases are all but pre-programmed for loss. With document management it's different: using DocuWare, you've got a secure, clearly structured system in place for all of your manufacturing documents that can easily meet today and tomorrow's legal guidelines. Knowing that your manufacturing documentation is safe means you can go back to concentrating on your primary business goals.

 

2.Capturing Measurements Automatically

To protect your company from potential Product Liability claims, you need to make sure that all of your production parameters are captured and safely stored for several decades. 

 

3. Data Stored - Without Extra Staff

Every new electronic report is stored automatically using a Meta Index File in a folder monitored by DocuWare. Using the DocuWare Module ACTIVE IMPORT, the document management program imports the index criteria straight from the Meta Index Files. 

​

Manufacturing/production parameters are archived in a simple, well-organised manner - no need to commit any staff to the task!
