Current Solutions:

Procedural Enforcement: requires that all processes on the shop floor and at suppliers are performed in the proper sequence and no critical information is missed in the process.

Risk Mitigation: Paperless manufacturing and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are critical assets for companies.  Large manufacturers rely on them to alleviate risk in their organizations, whether through incomplete work, inaccurate work orders or records or product built outside of specifications.

Quality Management: Efforts must be made to ensure that there is a steady flow of information handed down to the shop floor telling the employees that they are doing the right job right.

Change Management: On a shop floor change is inevitable.  No matter what you make or how you make it, market forces, customer requests and unforeseen product or process issues will cause changes on your shop floor.
