A major privately held corporation struggled with inconsistencies and significant costs from standardization using MS Word for their 15,000 operating procedures. In addition, one facility was cited in an OSHA audit for not incorporating operating limits in their procedures.
The corporate team worked with ATR procedure experts to standardize all elements of the procedure lifecycle to ensure each site practiced best practices and adhered to company standards. These standards were built into the SmartProcedures database, and then electronically enforced by writer controls and programmatic features.
