"Work Instructions Made Easy" revisited -
Since the founding of the company, our mantra at FFD has been "Work Instructions Made Easy!" I am quite certain that anyone that has seen us at a tradeshow before has found themselves muttering this under their breath as they walk past our booth. While this message generally will get the attention of the engineer tasked with day-to-day authoring and upkeep of the information REQUIRED to make a company's products, the value of that message is often lost as it is carried up the organization to the person making budgetary decisions. While our original focus was in fact on making the job of having great work instructions easier, Sequence has always been more than just a work-instruction package.
More than "just" work instructions-
In highly regulated industries such as military, medical device, homeland security and defense manufacturing, providing a complete audit trail and objective evidence of compliance to manufacturing standards is oftentimes a required element of doing business. This information may not only be required for customer acceptance but also at some point in the future in the event of an unforeseen audit. In many environments, sign-off is at the level of an individual performing a discrete task as opposed to the operational level that has historically been accepted. Without the ability to produce documentation at this level, your product may sit on the loading dock waiting for customer acceptance or regulatory approval.
Traceability for manual assembly -
Sequence has been designed to allow companies doing complex manual assembly to easily create, manage, deploy and validate the information required to build their products. With integration to an ERP system, work instructions can be versioned to specific work orders / serial numbers providing complete traceability for any build and an easy path to objective evidence. Sequence makes available only one version of the work instructions - the RIGHT one. Electronic delivery of work instructions to the shop floor and capture of information against the work order provides detailed records of what, when, where, how and by who a product was assembled. All of this comes at a fraction of the cost of maintaining the same information in an “Office” or paper-based environment.
It's not about the work instructions but what the work instructions allow you to accomplish -
Come by and see us. Let's talk about what you want to accomplish and how Sequence can help:
- Get product out the door faster;
- Reduce the time spent doing daily audits;
- Consolidiate your objective evidence in one system; and
- Track the specifications to which a device was manufactured.
