HOW CAN GLARTEK HELP IMPROVE THE PROCESS?
With the new Augmented & Connected Worker digital processes are a new reality. It enables you to digitalise your process through digital checklists and work instructions with a never seen mobility. As a result, this means that every worker can have their own digital workflow, calendar, and support information to guarantee an efficient process execution. Besides, during the execution, workers can submit visual evidence, such as photos or short videos. This information is available at all times, allowing managers to frequently analyze the process and optimize it. The solution also allow to create reports and metrics with relevant information displayed in graphs.
DIGITAL WORK INSTRUCTIONS
By digitizing the process in the platform, each “S” can be part of a workflow to guide the worker. With the correct digital calendars and guides, workers will be able to know which steps to follow to guarantee a correct process execution. The reporting can be done in real-time and the procedure can even be scored for better analysis.
EXECUTION VISUAL EVIDENCE
In order to obtain execution proof and to improve the subsequent analysis of the results, you may require visual evidence through photos or videos. This multimedia capture option can also be very useful when reporting nonconformities in order to better explain the situation.
BENEFITS
Of transitioning from Paper to Digital Procedures
By providing adequate support to teams and valuable task schedules and support inputs to workers, process execution will be made simpler and productivity will improve. However, the main benefit is the ease with which this process can be turned into a standard and sustained task which can be integrated into a workflow and can not be ignored, increasing both efficiency and control.
