Migrating from Paper to Interactive Paperless Work Instructions
______________________________________________________

One of the effects of the ever increasing mountain of regulatory requirements and the globalization of markets is the need to disseminate and collect information across the shop floor and the enterprise in either real or near real time.  Companies are finding that a paper environment does not provide the nimbleness needed to execute today’s adaptive business models which are required in the current economy.

Fortunately, a variety of process and information technologies have emerged and intersected to provide economical solutions for today’s process management and product traceability needs.  Electronic process trees and instructions can be used as collaborative information portals providing a wide range of capabilities.  By strategically applying measured amounts of technology to achieve the operational flexibility needed, a company can stay relevant in what is becoming a rapid globalization of markets and regulations.

 Presented in this session, the author will discuss:

ü      The capabilities of an electronic process management - work instruction environment

ü      Capturing business and manufacturing intelligence

ü      Mining production data in real time

ü      Economical migration from paper to paperless on the manufacturing floor

ü      Implementation considerations and cost
