Every production floor runs on knowledge that lives in people: which press handles which stock, which customer always sends artwork at the wrong size, which job needs a second look before it ships.
Capture the checks, not just the steps
The checks an experienced operator makes by instinct can become checks the system makes on every job. That's where most of the value is.
Let the system flag, let people decide
Artwork, color, and numbering problems get caught before the run. The operator still makes the call. The difference is that nothing depends on the right person being on shift.
