GSF embarked on a journey to update their SOPs. They wanted to make these procedures as accessible and easy to implement as possible in order to drive productivity and train new team members quickly. They chose SwipeGuide as their enablement tool.
GSF provides iPads for operators to get the information they need on the job. With SwipeGuide, employees simply need to scan a QR code to access step-by-step work instructions and SOPs.
Using SwipeGuide, GSF has documented a variety of SOPs and instructions, from steps to operate machinery to best practices for performing office tasks. Having these in one central digital library has helped them improve lean manufacturing adoption.
The SwipeGuide platform is designed to make collecting feedback on best practices as easy and intuitive as possible. Subject matter experts can deliver their input on each step of a process with the push of a button.

GSF reports that their employees are thrilled to have access to standardized work instructions - it makes their job easier and removes any frustration or guesswork about the task at hand. Happier workers mean fewer errors, and a high quality end-product.
