Why Your Manufacturing Facility Needs a Document Management System

In manufacturing, document management is no minor challenge. Invoices, order forms, change requests, proposals, quotes, and quality assurance records come in and out of your company every day. It’s a lot to keep track of.

That’s where a document management system can help in a big way. By automating processes and eliminating paper within your process you can accomplish more work in less time. This improved productivity can have a major impact on your company’s performance, especially given the numerous internal departments operating within a manufacturing environment.

Departments within a manufacturing facility manage complex workflows that are often accompanied with these challenges:

  • Tremendous pressure to reduce manufacturing costs. Companies may not realize the huge cost and time economies a document management system can deliver.
  • Just like cost reduction goals, manufacturing companies must continually look for ways to gain competitive advantages and improve time-to-market.
  • Departments tend to be very “self-contained” making it difficult to locate data across multiple systems and departments.
  • Data comes in multiple formats and can be difficult to manage (e.g. electronic orders, paper files, office documents, electronic documents, CAD and large format documents).
  • Slow and manual paper-based processes for sharing, reviewing and approving documents and drawings dominate workflows.
