Documentation Get your product documented...

It is time to catchup... It is very common in industry to create sketches for required project to speed things up and rely on production staff to come up with production methods, component location, and assembly hardware used. After successful completion of the project most likely were will be no documentation of what was used and how things were made. This leads to embarrassing moments when client calls back with questions and we have nothing to go by without relying in memory of production workers on how project was completed. Or if you need to produce additional quantities for the same client and the product is not the same as the first batch. We can step in and document your project before it is shipped and verify details with production workers to make sure that all basis are covered. Don’t lose it... Nearly all small to medium size manufacturing companies have number of tools, dies, fixtures, racks, or other production aids that were made on as needed basis by production workers to satisfy production needs. Majority of those tools were never documented, so when the tool fails production struggles to find suitable substitute to continue with production. All this could be prevented if the replacement is scheduled in and the set of drawings is ready for quotations or exact reproduction of the required tool. Document your revisions... Sometimes changes need to be made to already made or purchased equipment to meet o production needs. It may be anything from tool holder adapter to electrical wiring or hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This type of changes may lead to expensive errors during routine repair or maintenance, but most of all it will jeopardize safety of external service staff.
