PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Nobody reads procedures or safety documents...
1
COST
Procedures are skimmed, leading to misunderstanding and costly error. Tragic consequences occur when safety procedures like LOTO are not done correctly.
A modest 200 procedures can cost a million dollars to produce, review, and control - a high price if they are underutilized and lead to error.
SOLUTION
Brevity at Work can create concise, visual procedures that instantly communicate hazards and best practices. Various mobile-ready formats are available. We also custom design for your application.
Well-designed Work Instructions:
-
Immediately identify hazards & controls.
-
Provide overview of tasks.
-
Show step-by-step instructions.
-
Communicate best practices.
-
Leverage visuals to keep instructions brief.
Nobody reads procedures or safety documents...
2
We've got a shortage of skilled workers & many will change jobs or retire...
COST
Skilled labor shortage impairs growth and performance. It's vital to capture your best workers' experience before they leave or retire.
To perform a task correctly, it must be visualized. Videos often do this best. You lose improvement opportunities if videos for key tasks are not easily available.
SOLUTION
Brevity at Work can capture best practices from your most valuable workers, and create a clear, concise, multimedia knowledge base workers use to learn on the job or on the go.
Ensure consistent high quality for tasks like these:
1. Installation
2. Assembly
3. Skilled Trades
4. Repair
5. Customer Service
Keeping our documentation up-to-date with product changes across all models is a time-consuming chore!
3
COST
Making changes manually for each model - as required if using Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign - multiplies your editing costs. It's time for a change.
SOLUTION
Brevity at Work can transform your user guides using topic-based authoring in a user-friendly XML editor like MadCap Flare:
-
Content changes that apply to all models are made once. All update automatically.
-
Translation work is simplified.
-
Users benefit with rapid access to multimedia and answers to questions.
Product users benefits:
1. Faster answers to questions
2. Mobile information access
3. Easy navigation
4. Multimedia
Nobody reads procedures or safety documents...
Our processes are dynamic & require real-time tracking & data capture.
4
COST
Inefficiency - Training for multiple applications, and entering information more than once.
SOLUTION
Brevity at Work can create Process Street templates for critical, oft-repeated processes that automatically, in real-time:
-
Provide instructions that change dynamically to match user experience, observed conditions, and customer needs.
-
Record data and track process.
-
Pass responsibility between individuals as tasks are completed.
Audits, quality testing, LOTO, & client onboarding are examples:
-
Steps depend on data/conditions collected/observed or services needed/requested.
-
Data can be collected as the SOP is being used.
-
Completed SOP becomes a "system of record".
