In an effort to reduce waste as well as improve efficiency, we have implemented a proprietary Paperless Documentation System. This will provide real-time information via information terminals placed in each work station throughout the plant. Fully implemented, each employee can both view and report consolidated key business metrics company-wide through this online system, to include
- Business Profitability & Revenue Goals, Projections and Real-time Performance
- Work Order/Router Information and Component/Process Specifications
- Floor Labor Reporting and Operator Efficiency
- Quality Reporting and Performance Metrics
- Internal Engineering Change Activity
- Continuous improvement Activity
- Internal Activities scheduled
- MSDS & Safety reporting
- AFI news of Interest
- New Job postings


In summary, our new PDS initiative accomplishes the following business objectives;
- The removal of the majority of paper documents and flow of paper on the manufacturing shop floor
- Provide and collect immediate up-to date critical business information in real-time
- Provide access to, and the collection of, valuable business information to all employees.
