The vast majority of companies still use files, folders and email to organize and manage their engineering data. These manual approaches are as highly prone to errors as the drafting boards of the past. Both rely on the moment-to-moment effectiveness of your employees. Even the best of employees make mistakes. When a firm has suffered a workforce reduction these mistakes, or "breakdowns," indisputably increase.
We suggest to you that these breakdowns in manual systems have become so common in your organization that you now consider them a cost of doing business. Engineering Document Management and Workflow software solutions have the ability to replace inefficient manual approaches in exactly the same way CAD software replaced drafting boards 30 years ago.
Every important technical business Shift has been initially resisted. "We have these wonderful mainframes, why would anyone need his own computer on their desk. My drafting board is just fine, let someone else take the risk of messing with that CAD stuff." It always takes time to change the momentum of the current method, whatever it is.
The Shift in a company begins when just one employee considers the possibility and wonders, "could it be true?" You came to this page out of curiosity. Well, give us just two more minutes of that curiosity to see if we can get you thinking. Thinking about whether what we are saying might just be true in your organization.
2-Minute Engineering Survey
Answer the seven simple questions below candidly. How often have these simple 'breakdowns' occurred in your organization in the last 60 days? Your own answers will give you an indication whether this Shift might benefit your organization.
Even in this simple survey you have identified breakdowns.
What would you estimate the cost of each of these: $500, $1000, $10,000? The point of this short exercise is simple. If the solutions we offer can indeed correct these breakdowns, you have a very real opportunity to put money directly to your bottom line.
If we have you thinking about the possibilities of the Shift, get a free copy of our 2-Minute Engineering Survey and see how others in your organizations answer these questions. To download your free copy of the 2-Minute Engineering Survey, click here.
When it becomes clear the Shift from manual to an automated documentation and workflow solution could substantially benefit your organization, we offer you access to our Cost Prevention and Reduction (CPR) self-assessment tool below. With the CPR you can take the next step and objectively quantify the benefit of making the Shift in your organization.
CPR to Revive Your Bottom Line
Our free Cost Prevention & Reduction (CPR) self-assessment tool will allow you to quickly and objectively project your cost savings, in quantifiable dollars, when common documentation breakdowns are eliminated from manual systems.
