Our client, MillerClapperton, had a robust log cutting process… however, it was all logged (pun intended) by hand. Not only that, the entire process was logged and overseen by shop-floor workers. Once they finished their report, they would duplicate their efforts by manually re-creating an Excel file to represent the process.
On average, around 24 hours per week were spent manually (and repetitively) entering log data into an Excel sheet. Additionally, due to the paper-based, manual nature of data sharing, some of the report data would end up inconsistent, inaccurately entered, or entirely missing.
