When an expert retires, their know-how leaves with them.
Undocumented know-how is the number-one silent risk facing European industrial mid-sized companies.
Your procedures exist. Errors occur when the action is performed
2D plans displayed at a distance, PDFs opened between two operations, instructions passed on orally, and know-how held by a handful of experts.
In industry,
people are essential,
yet friction
and errors are costly:
Lost time and first-pass errors
Production cost overruns
Time spent training people in job-specific skills
Quality rework
Data entry errors
Co-Idea addresses 3 realities you know well
Yesterday's skilled operator makes mistakes today.
A new process, a new part, a production-run change: without contextual guidance, the first pass is uncertain.
Training does not translate into shop-floor performance.
What is understood in the training room disappears upon returning to the workstation.
