Document Control Software: Less Paper, Time and Scrap
Most factory operations will likely never become 100% paperless. But at Controlled Power Co. (Troy, MI), the use of PC-based document control software has so far enabled the firm to slash paper usage by about 40%, while also saving time and reducing scrap in the manufacturing process.
Moreover, the document control software--provided by Powerway Inc. (Indianapolis)--also "helped us immensely" in meeting requirements for ISO 9001 certification, says Sandy Darnall, document manager at Controlled Power. The company, which manufactures uninterruptible power supplies, power conditioners and other electrical products, became ISO 9001 certified in April, 1998.
