OEM manufacturing processes have been studied throughout the years, experimented with various methods to optimize operations and move to leaner and more efficient work.

The principles of the lean culture were transformed into defined practices and their implementation has been assisted by a variety of IT systems, specifically developed to support such processes. The Guide System has been developed to interface with such systems and complement them by providing the Guide's particular attributes.

Since the Guide interfaces between data centers and the production floor (assembly lines or maintenance bay), it generates a paperless process that cuts off wasted time associated with elaborate data mining. Guide also improves time saving related to logistic processes, inspections and handling of snags and non-routine events.

The real time broad view of maintenance activities taking place at the floor enable optimal use of resources and continued comparison between planned timelines, their costs and actual performance. This allows taking immediate measures whenever and wherever required.

Guide provides OEMs with the following benefits - greatly improving:

• Production Time
• Cost Control
• Customer Service
• Resource Management
• Inventory Levels
• Quality Control
