Epifor puts the drawing, the specification and the work instruction on the terminal at the work center, in the revision that is current today. A new operator learns the system itself in about five minutes and then follows the job in front of them rather than a binder, a memory, or the person who usually does it.
What changes for you
The instruction is at the station, not in a binder
Drawings, specifications, quality fields and the BOM are distributed to the work centers that need them. The operator opens the current version at the machine rather than walking to the office or working from a printout of unknown age.
Everyone works from the same revision
When engineering issues a change, every affected station is on the new version before the next part is loaded, and the superseded one is gone. The night shift and the day shift do the job the same way because they are looking at the same document.
A new operator can work without being able to break things
Permission levels are not predefined. You create a level, name it, and decide exactly what it can access and what it can do. A new operator gets what their job needs and nothing beyond it.
You can see who is up to speed
Every operation records the operator alongside the time it took. Ramp up stops being an impression and becomes a curve you can look at, per operator, per operation, per work center.
