It's Time to Track Errors--Dickeson

Your Starting Point
Start with your internal or intranet plant system. Does it provide electronic job sheets or job jackets that are constantly updated? Is every entry stamped with time, date and employee identifier? Are all change orders and customer revisions constantly entered? Those systems are available from printing software suppliers. With such a system in place, the gossip circle in the plant is terminated. The buck stops right where the digital archive places it. Internal accountability is established. The Who, What, When, Where error source is fixed.
