Enhance Manufacturing Efficiency
Dynamic Documents within Epicor Kinetic brings paperless operations to the shop floor, offering robust features that extends critical information to plant operators. This innovative tool integrates with Job Entry and Data Collection, allowing operators to access and fill out digital documents directly within the Kinetic platform. Users can easily create and convert Word documents into PDFs, which are then utilized as extended work instructions or to capture unstructured data during production processes.
Benefits
Digitize Shop Floor Documentation
Dynamic Documents convert traditional paper processes into digital formats using a Word® Plug-in and integrating them directly with job operations like work instructions and data collection. This capability facilitates a smoother workflow and can potentially reduce manual errors, offering a streamlined approach for managing work instructions.
Support Compliance & Quality Management
Particularly relevant to manufacturers in regulated sectors, Dynamic Documents enable the systematic capture of detailed production activities. This helps with maintaining records that may support compliance with regulatory standards, making audit processes more manageable and documentation more accessible.
Enhanced Adaptability with Flexible Configurations
Dynamic Documents allow operators to input data directly into templates during production, helping enhance the precision of data collection. Using predefined forms can help improve the accuracy of information captured during manufacturing processes, supporting better quality control and decision-making.
Features
Working in real-time, operators can enter data directly into document templates at various production stages, reducing errors associated with delayed entry and improving information timeliness.
Dynamic Documents enable customizable templates within the ERP system for consistent documentation and accurate information capture. Using a Microsoft Word plugin, users can create Word templates that convert to PDFs and integrate seamlessly into the Kinetic platform, allowing for easy updates and uniform formatting.
These documents are seamlessly integrated with job operations, meaning that they can be directly linked to specific tasks or production stages. This integration helps ensure that documentation is relevant and readily available at the necessary point in the workflow.
For industries that are heavily regulated, Dynamic Documents can support compliance efforts so that all required documentation is completed and stored appropriately. This can be crucial for audits and quality control processes.
Once created, these documents can be easily accessed, shared, or archived within the ERP system. They can be distributed electronically to relevant stakeholders, reducing the need for physical paperwork and enabling faster decision-making processes.
