In large organizations, this can represent thousands of units saved with a digital solution
- 6. Significant Streamlining of Deployment
- 7. Better safety Better trained employees with up to date digital work instructions are more likely to follow safety guidelines and adapt to new measures Better quality 31% of surveyed companies spend more than $500,000 per year as a cost of poor quality Better productivity Supervisors regularly cite operator error, lack of training and inadequate processes as directly impacting their quality and productivity Better quality More organized, better prepared workers are not only more efficient, but they become more predictable and costs are easier to manage

- 12. Reduction of Paper Use for Bottom Line and Environmental Impact
- 13. Paper is a tremendous expense costing tens of thousands of dollars per year in most organizations, not to mention the environmental impact. The automotive industry alone experiences more than $22B per year in quality costs due to recalls, with an average of over $1 million per incident when a defect is detected. The cost of safety, training, and assets can easily exceed this without the right solution. Despite this, 87% of companies are not filing electronically, and nearly 80% use Microsoft products for their work instructions.
- 14. Faster Access to Large Stores of Data
- 15. In many large companies, standard purchasing terms and conditions require that suppliers keep records for several years, often more than ten. In a paper-based system, this is exceptionally difficult. Subsequently, organizing your work instructions and creating a single repository for all data saves hundreds of hours per year. Employees no longer need to search for previous content, and valuable resources aren’t lost sitting in binders that are rarely opened.
