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.
A paperless system, such as Interax, allows easy mark-up on the shop floor and real time distribution to engineering for evaluation of problems. Speed is especially valuable during the first article inspection process where most of the engineering changes may occur for a complex product.
There are important considerations in managing change on the shop floor all of which Interax addresses including:
- Change Propagation: Identifying all affected orders for a specific engineering change
- Rapid Rework: Automatically assigning rework instructions to implement a new change to an already completed compotent
- History tracking: Prior revisions of the information collected accessible for the work in process
- Rapid Communication: Allows electronic communication back to engineering for evaluation of problems
