Successfully Implementing Automated Work-in-Process Tracking and
Materials Traceability Systems
MILLBURY, Mass., April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BellHawk Systems today
announced the availability of a new white paper on how to successfully
implement automated work-in-process and materials traceability
systems.

In this white paper Dr. Peter Green presents the lessons learned by
his team in implementing close to 100 of these systems, most of which
were successful, but some were not. Then the paper presents a
recommended implementation process that has been found to be
successful and minimizes the time, risk and cost of implementing these
systems.
This white paper is available as a PDF download from the White Paper
tab of the BellHawk website at www.BellHawk.com along with a number of
other white papers on this topic.
This paper was written because many industrial organizations, such as
manufacturers, food and pharmaceutical processors, biotech
laboratories, and distributors are still performing these tracking
functions using paper forms, Excel spreadsheets, and manual keyboard
data entry. This manual tracking is a labor-intensive and error-prone
process that typically also results in significant delays in the data
becoming available.
The reason that most of these organizations are still using manual
data collection methods is that implementing an automated system,
using technologies such as barcodes or RFID and wireless mobile
computing, appears to be a very complex, time-consuming, and expensive
process.
Many of these organizations are, however, finding that they are under
increasing pressure to automate these data collection processes
because of:
Need to reduce labor costs and prevent operational mistakes.
Need for real-time business intelligence.
Regulatory compliance pressures from Government and their customers.
Need for information integration with customer and supplier systems.
This paper presents a road-map for successfully implementing these
automated data collection systems at a cost that enables these systems
to pay for themselves in labor savings within the first year. It is
available as a no-cost download.

Green at 508-865-8070 x301 or Email.
