Work instructions are far more than simple checklists — they are the key to efficient and error-free production. Modern approaches like flowchart-based displays offer clear structure and allow for flexible adaptations to alternative processes, such as rework or variant assembly.
Another effective method is the photographic documentation of individual assembly steps. This intuitive approach is especially helpful for new employees and ensures faster onboarding. It shortens training times and enhances the quality of instruction. Since ELAM’s work instructions are available in multiple languages, they can be used seamlessly in international production environments— a major advantage when relocating production abroad. Visual and language support enables smooth local training without language barriers or misunderstandings. Even more effective: integrating CAD data. Assembly steps and construction plans can be directly imported, minimizing errors and accelerating the creation of instructions.
In the ELAM system, all work instructions are centrally managed, updated in real-time, and delivered to a variety of end devices. This ensures consistent quality and flexibility — whether at the main site or across global facilities. The technology makes it easy to react quickly to changes without disrupting the production flow.
