Manufacturing issues to improvement

Cut downtime before it stops production

Spot issues early before they turn into breakdowns. Use live machine data from sensors and other signals to flag unusual behavior while there’s still time to act.
Maintain equipment based on real use, not guesswork. Schedule servicing using live asset data and so machines get attention when they need it, not during unplanned stoppages.
Give everyone clear visibility and ownership. Use role-based access so teams see the right inspection and repair status across sites and know exactly what needs to be done.

Prevent unsafe restarts with verified repairs

Run the same restart routine after every job. Follow clear safety checks, test runs, and quality steps so equipment is checked and ready before anyone hits start.
Approve equipment with clear ownership. Capture digital sign-offs showing who approved the machine, what was checked, and confirmation that it meets User Requirements Specifications (URS), vendor specs, and acceptance tests.
Stop the same problems from coming back. Record root causes and corrective actions so teams fix the real issue, not just the symptom, and reduce repeat rework.

Optimize how work gets done

Create repeatable processes with digitized checks. Turn any process like pre-start, safety, or quality checks into simple taps with everything you need from real-time calculations to photo annotations, voice-to-text, and much more.
Make everything actionable right away. Automate corrective actions across safety, maintenance, and quality with full context and traceability to ensure accountability and timely resolution.
Eliminate reporting and back office work. Turn every check into detailed reports with automated summaries of critical findings, non-conformances, and corrective actions.

Get every worker engaged

Make it easy to report and audit anything. Provide instant mobile access on any device, online or offline, QR codes for on-site placement in just clicks making worker adoption easy and clear.
Keep your team upskilled and on track. Deploy training courses in minutes for compliance or improvement. With bite-sized lessons, your teams retain more without disrupting their day.
Turn every SOP into instant answers in any language. Make it easy for operators and leaders to access SOPs, chemical handling and more with centralized document control with AI-powered answers.

Build a solid maintenance history to be audit-ready

Keep every maintenance job tied to the right machine. Record services, inspections, fixes, photos, notes, and sign-offs directly on the asset so nothing gets lost or missed.
Manufacturing Maintenance - Block #5 Highlight #1
Fix problems faster with full context. Scan or search the asset on the floor to see past work, previous failures, and replaced parts before you start.
Show clear proof when auditors ask. Pull up calibration certificates and service records instantly to support compliance for regulators and customers.

“It really galvanized the Operations Team. We were able to do a lot more through SafetyCulture than we would have been able to do through other systems or processes. If we didn’t have SafetyCulture, there’s no way we would have got to that level when we had the audit.
