Safe operations and quality products.
In the past, the team at Johnson Controls focused on work instructions primarily for compliance purposes. These were usually complex with a lot of words, outdated, and only accessible to team leads.
Goals with SwipeGuide:
-
User-friendliness.
It's important that the platform is easy to understand, adopt, and deploy. The adaptability enhances usability and simplifies the learning process.
-
Capture expert knowledge.
Many operators close to retirement: capture and retain the most important insights they’ve gathered over the years and pass it on to the next generation.
-
Consistent training.
Train and engage operators consistently. Everyone is trained quickly to be able to build the products effectively and safely.
-
Product quality.
Produce high-quality products, no matter who makes them.
-
Effortless versioning.
Documentation and revision control ensures accuracy in work instructions.
-
Effective feedback.
Harvesting feedback from the shop floor boosts engagement but also expands and enhances work instructions over time.
