When you think of lean manufacturing operations, physical processes like equipment maintenance, warehousing and production lines likely come to mind. However, each of these processes also involves swaths of information — frequently sequestered to specific systems or departments — that can be managed far more effectively.

Square 9's new Guide to Efficient Information Management in Manufacturing provides keen insights towards enhanced productivity and customer value through efficient management of processes like compliance audits, equipment inspections, production, warehousing and much more.

Intelligent information management solutions streamline processes, ensure compliance, and strengthen the bottom line by leveraging information from your documents and controlling its flow throughout your organization.

This information-based boost to productivity is a perfect addition to lean manufacturing initiatives as they recover from COVID-19 lockdown-based supply-chain disruptions. In 2022, market share for U.S. manufacturing reached a record low of 66%, but with revised best practices and newfound capital from federal grants and investors, the industry is making a fast and effective recovery.

"Manufacturing isn't just about the physical process; it's about managing the flow of critical information that drives those processes," said Stephen Young, president and CEO, Square 9. "Square 9 has helped manufacturers for over 20 years to improve this information flow. Our guide for manufacturers shares the tools and strategies they need to implement solutions that streamline information and boost productivity."

By offering clear guidance to organizations looking for information management solutions, Square 9 continues its reputation of customer success for organizations throughout their automation journey.
