Paper comes from trees and the more we use, the more intense the strain on our planet’s natural resources become. Aside from the drastic effects of deforestation, using paper is neither time-efficient nor is it any good in terms of productivity, especially if you are into manufacturing. Whether it’s a quality audit or a safety inspection, if you are still handing out forms and collecting data on paper, it’s time to consider manufacturing apps like the ones offered by Canvas. In case you are wondering how such apps can help exactly, go through the following points to understand.

Manufacturing Material Inspection

You can use a manufacturing material inspection app to do quality checks when products arrive or leave your facility. The data recorded on the app will be saved and stored in the cloud for easy access and you can use the tool from any mobile or tablet.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)

HACCP is a widely used technique to prevent food safety hazards, so if your manufacturing business happens to deal with food materials, you might want to switch to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point forms from the HACCP Canvas app, instead of wasting time in data entry from paper forms.

Internal Quality Audit Report

To maintain high standards in auditing, you can use the IQA app for auditing and report on all of the associated processes continuously. As far as quality control and project management are concerned, the IQA app makes everything easier, faster and more updated than using archaic paper forms. The app also lets the user compare findings of the audits with the applicable policy to make changes and corrections as necessary. In other words, the Internal Quality Audit Report app not only makes paper redundant, it also makes the job of the project manager or the quality control officer a lot easier than before.

MSDS Compliance Checklist

If you are into manufacturing chemicals or even if you are an importer of chemical products, you will love the MSDS checklist app. It has all information necessary to ensure occupational safety for your workers while dealing with chemicals, and you can simply send a digital copy to each employee, instead of wasting paper. Since the law dictates that all customers also need to be provided with a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet, there’s one more area where you will be saving money and paper on each sale.

Plant Risk Assessment

The plant risk assessment app allows for easy detection of potential hazards in a manufacturing plant to maintain a safe working environment. It’s a must-have app for ensuring the quality of the manufacturing plant’s safety standards and reducing the chances of health hazards even before they happen.

There are so many other manufacturing apps available on Canvas that once you start using them, you will never be able to go back to paper ever again. Not only do these apps help manufacturing plants save on paper waste, but they actually boost productivity significantly by adding and merging features that are lightyears ahead of the paper form era.
