The impact that implementation of digital work instructions and checklists can have on an organization when properly evaluated and modernized.

1. The Impact of Digital Work
Instructions and Checklists

2. Process improvements have
accelerated
IN THE LAST DECADE
Driven by the implementation of
advanced, highly configurable
software

3. With most plants still reliant on paper
checklists and work instructions, Excel
spreadsheets, and Google Docs,
digital work checklists represent a
massive leap forward

4. Improvements to Content Creation

5.  A digital platform makes content creation faster and
easier than most existing solutions such as Excel,
PowerPoint, or Word
 Our own studies comparing paper checklists to Smart
Work Station digital work checklists showed a
significant reduction in the time it takes to create new
content
 If you save only 15 minutes per workstation and you
create four per day, that’s an entire hour per day
saved. 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

8. Compression of Lengthy Training Times

9.  Medium sized companies spend thousands of hours
every year training new employees.
 High rotation rates mean there are almost always new
employees on the line in need of support.
 A more streamlined, personalized training process
does many things for your employees.
 Improved engagement allows you to fully leverage the
value of your training materials – a significant annual
investment for your organization.

10. Capturing and Preparing Accurate Reports

11.  Digital solutions automatically capture data and provide
several built-in solutions for dashboards and reporting.
 Data has surpassed oil as the most valuable commodity in
the world, and the technology being used to leverage it is
only becoming more sophisticated
 By capturing data and preparing accurate, flexible reports,
it’s possible to learn more and react more quickly to
changing conditions

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.
