Sequence was designed
with one thing in mind - helping companies capture and manage manufacturing knowledge
and transform that knowledge into effective Work
Instructions.
Database architecture yielding flexible, faster, better use/reuse and control of data;
Rapid work-instruction deployment via preformatted paper, electronic .pdf files or real-time paperless through WebSequence;
Integration with other business systems to extend the value of enterprise data to the shop floor;
Real-time, shop-floor knowledge capture capabilities to capture manufacturing know-how where it exists;
Role or function specific instructions in a pictorial based format;
The ability to publish customer / work-order specific instructions in a paperless, real-time environment;
Automatic archiving of historical information and retired versions;
The ability to collect operational information during the manufacturing process;
The ability to track work at an operational level with electronic signoff and instruction verification;and,
E-note error documentation and information input from users to alert authors of potential changes or errors.
Military & Aerospace manufacturers are subjected to some of the most demanding manufacturing oversight and
documentation requirements of any industry; particularly those who focus on exactitude. Some manufacturers have limited
automation potential and rely on human factors and are typically high mix, low volume with constant or frequent change. Leaders in
this industry have used Sequence to:
Support their regulatory and compliance requirements;
Realize significant savings in reduction of engineering time required for development of WI’s;
Increase engineering capacity;
Reduce training time for new employees; and,
Increase quality due to standardized work with reduced scrap and rework costs.
Manufacturers of high-tech hardware and instrumentation perhaps struggle more with constrained capacity and training
issues than any other industry. Quite often, company growth is limited by the rate at which new manufacturing personnel can be hired
and become effective. Add the complexity of highly configurable products to be more competitive and suddenly,
role-specific Work Instructions are needed to effectively and profitably produce products. Manufacturers have confirmed
that Sequence offers:
A more efficient, cost-effective tool over “office" products;
Significant savings in the time to create and manage rich, detailed work instructions;
A format that reduces the time it takes for new hires to become effective; and,
A scalable deployment path to meet every budget.
Now more than ever, manufacturers of consumer products are forced to be as lean as possible on the
manufacturing floor. In today's global economy, no company can survive for very long with waste in
any area. Sequence provides a cost-effective tool for companies to improve their operational performance
with:
Foundation tools for development of Lean processes, ISO certification and audits;
Paperless, interactive WI’s that allow for video and audio files to support training and shop floor instructions;
Data collection, with electronic signature for tracking/tracing of work performed and related job information for regulatory or compliance reporting; and,
Expert / Novice and function specific instructions in a pictorial based format.
