Effective Working for Manufacturing Companies
openFabric is an ideal platform for Manufacturing companies of any size. Whether it’s managing a new product design, processing a new customer order, modifying an existing product specification or collaborating on the latest maintenance project on the production line. openFabric improves manufacturing efficiency, manages document / image version control and provides a central point for all company information.
With the ability to instantly access documents on any process or project either in the office, at a suppliers site or on the production floor ensures you have the latest, most up to date version of information to make decisions.
The openFabric virtual office dramatically improves the time to complete projects whilst also reducing the volume of mistakes made by editing the wrong version of the latest product design or process improvement.
All functional managers from the Operations Director right through the production processes to the Stores Manager can be empowered to manage their own documents and Product / Machine Specifications in the clear knowledge that they are accessing the very latest up to date version of documentation.
Key functionality for Manufacturing Processes:
All content stored in the openFabric repository and sent to and from openFabric is encrypted securing all your company information at all times.
Go green; using openFabric dramatically reduces the volume of paper in the office and therefore improves time to locate, manage, store and archive company documentation.
Version control and document collaboration speeds the time to complete documentation whilst also providing an audit trial of who is working on the content and when. Changes that have been made and each version are available should you want to restore an original entry.
By implementing openFabric, manufacturing companies can create their own web-based Portal/Intranet and Extranets all linked to your openFabric repository. Power users and or administrators within the company can easily administer these spaces avoiding the need to be reliant on the IT department.
Managing contact details, correspondence and all activity with customers, suppliers and external contractors is incorporated in openfabric as a separate Customer Relationshiop module.
An Image Library can capture thumbnail pictures of project design diagrams or staff photos for health and safety, index and easily searchable with photo shop tools for editing.
Work on line or off line. openFabric is one of the only platforms currently in information management that provides client software for your local PC. Where Internet connection is weak and keeps breaking or when there is no Internet connection at all, workers can still access their documentation and continue to work. As soon as Internet connection is available openFabric will seamlessly replicate.
The openFabric work flow designer can be tailored to manage any company process, whether its time sheets, preparing operations and maintenance manuals or the latest Product Design approval. The work flow engine will follow a set of processes enabling your team to work far smarter and with the ability to view where the process is at any time.
There is always a danger that valuable paper-based information could potentially get lost especially when several individuals are involved with the project. Secure storage and regular backups reduce the volume of paper and space used for filling cabinets. This creates huge time savings when locating an old document using the openFabric search engine.
