Findings

  

When looking at the current system used at this plant we see that 5 other operations rely on the accuracy of the one document that is filled out by people with the least experience.  The errors, that are inevitable, are very common and the only solution is automating redundant, basic processes.  Whether this program is what is needed or developing a whole new way of collecting and presenting the information, something should be done to diminish some of the burden placed on the process of the manual system.  Time consumption is high while output is low. This translates into high costs to maintain a manual system that does not work well while relying on a system that does not extract the necessary data to present the information needed for traceability and analysis.  It is expected, and been proven through pilot trials, that this program does have a major, positive effect on the 5 operations and the energy expended in the transactions between them.
