Transform Manufacturing Processes with Dynamic Documents
Documents are a key part of manufacturing processes, from requirements and specifications, to bills, parts lists, marketing materials and technical maintenance manuals. Documents are portable, persistent and provide the context that people need to understand information. But documents are typically a snapshot in time, providing a static view of a dynamic business. This static nature can result in design, development and maintenance delays, mistakes, rework costs and compliance issues that can rapidly erode profit margins, customer loyalty and time-to-market advantages.
How it's done today:
| Engineering Doc Authoring & Collaboration |
MRO Authoring and Publishing |
Batch Process Definition |
- Documents are shared as versioned static artifacts
- Relational and transactional data is available in traditional portal-style applications (collaborative engineering applications, etc.)
- Documents are often used to manage and share requirements, designs, bills of X, process diagrams, policies, etc.
- Dependent stakeholders aren't always aware when these documents change, resulting in design and production errors
|
- Field maintenance and support organizations rely upon manuals to inform how they carry out complex, time sensitive and highly regulated functions
- The information in these manuals is often out of date because of the complexity of data elements; when one element changes, the entire document must be republished
- The volumes of information makes it difficult to pinpoint the appropriate procedure at the point of incident
|
- Most life science (and other process manufacturing) companies currently lack a standardized approach for defining and reusing master process definitions
- "Continued reinvention" of recipes and inconsistent usage of manufacturing practices leads to cost, quality, compliance and time to market issues
- This makes technical transfer between phases and entities highly inefficient and prone to error
|
How it can be done--Leveraging dynamic documents using XMetaL and xfy:
Today, dynamic documents are helping manufacturing concerns dramatically improve information transfer and collaboration in product lifecycle management (PLM) and maintenance repair and operations (MRO).
-
Easily create XML content to enrich key business applications
-
Leverage existing investments by unlocking the value of previously isolated information.
-
Unify access to disparate information within dynamic document-based applications
-
Accelerate key business functions by integrating document workflows with transactional processes
-
Decentralize application development to lines of business
-
Enable business users to rapidly assemble rich document-based applications, with little or no programming knowledge.
