Approved work instructions
Check how a released specification becomes an instruction at the workstation, including which older copies remain in circulation.
QUEBEC / MANUFACTURING
Factory automation in Quebec.
Connect business information with floor reality, then choose the work worth automating against a clear operating baseline.
Discuss your operation
THE OPERATION BEHIND THE EQUIPMENT
Make approved instructions usable at the point of work.
Quebec's aerospace and agri-food activity puts very different demands on production records. In a component business, the accepted revision matters; in a food operation, lot identity and release conditions matter. Discovery should establish what each record means, who approves it and whether the floor receives the same instruction as the office.
For example, a supplier substitution can affect both an approved part list and a work instruction. Connecting only the purchasing record leaves production to discover the difference.
DECISIONS WORTH CONNECTING
Lot identity
Follow material and product identity through receipt, production and inspection so a release decision refers to the right lot.
Bilingual handovers
Identify which teams need French or English instructions, who maintains each version and how both receive an approved change.
Understand the work before choosing what to automate.
Observe the business and the floor
Start with orders, purchasing, planning and existing software. Compare those records with operators, maintenance and the conditions on the floor.
Connect a useful part of the operation
Make the relevant sources, owners, changes and exceptions visible. Build a usable operating model, with its uncertainties, rather than attempt to capture everything.
Prioritize a defensible intervention
Compare coordination time, throughput constraints, quality and cost against a baseline. A workflow connection may be more useful than new machinery.
Automate selectively and keep revising
Where justified, test a bounded physical task with representative variation. Agree on controls, recovery, training and continuing ownership.
More time for the decisions that need you.
Saving coordination time and protecting profitability require an operating baseline. We help identify what can change and how to judge whether it helps you stay competitive.
Less information chasing
Give the responsible person the context for a decision instead of another disconnected status.
Clearer investment choices
Compare total scope, integration, maintenance and ongoing work before choosing equipment.
Work people can operate
Keep exceptions, human authority and recovery visible as products and suppliers change.
Where does coordination consume your team’s time?
Tell us the location, production context, recurring exceptions and systems involved. We will discuss fit and a sensible next step. Where do approved changes stop reaching the people doing the work?
Before choosing an automation project.
Can discovery include French and English production records?
Share the working languages, source systems and instructions involved. The scope should define which records need translation, who approves technical terminology and how each version stays current. Translation alone does not resolve conflicting instructions or unclear release authority.
Do we need to replace all our existing equipment?
No. Discovery starts with the systems and equipment you already use. A useful first change may connect information or clarify a handover. New equipment and physical pilots follow a justified use case.
Can you confirm savings or local site work now?
Neither is assumed. We need to understand your baseline, access and requirements. We agree on remote and on-site work, responsibilities, costs and support for the specific project.
