Document Control
Using Document Management Software within The Lean Machine you can:
Eliminate the time wasted pushing paper procedures around the office.
Link or embed documents in their original file format. Import you existing documents without renumbering, reformatting, or renaming them.
Open multiple documents at the same time and keep track of which ones are open with the dynamic hyperlinked open screen list on the Main Menu.
Give reviewers access to edit the final draft with a first-come-first-serve check-in/check-out document review mechanism.
Release multiple documents under a single DCO/ECR form.
Create useful relationships to your documents to include:
- Other documents Quality Records created
- Metrics Events/Tasks
- ISO Clauses addressed User List
- FMEA projects Work Centers/Departments
- Parts from the Bill of Materials Projects
Link a document to a part and use the review and approval of the document to control the release of it’s corresponding part for production in the Production Module.
Require users to sign off on a training record after the document is released. Document Management Software within The Lean Machine records how long the user has the document open during the initial training review of the document, and displays this time next to their training signature.
Automatically e-mails the Review Authority list when the document is ready for review, and also when the final draft is ready for approval.
Documents needing review, approval, editing etc will show up on the appropriate users dashboard with a link to the applicable area of the Document Management Software.
Release any document with “Template” in the title and automatically import it when beginning a new document of that type.
