Work instructions give employees very specific step-by-step details about how to complete detailed tasks. The lack of clarity and specificity in work instructions can have serious consequences: accidents, lawsuits, and even loss of life.
Creating clear work instructions and keeping them updated is a major challenge for most organizations because traditional tools lack structure and controls. As a result, authors waste time on clerical tasks and end up with document that are hard to use and update.
Zavanta was designed from the ground up to enable ANYONE efficiently write a work instruction, sharing specific steps, nuances, warnings and what could go wrong, and troubleshooting information. The end result: someone else can follow the work instruction and perform the task efficiently and safely on their own, with minimal supervision.
With Zavanta, work instructions are:
- Thorough, well thought out
- Easier to update
- More usable, including visuals, videos and links to other resources
- Agile, flexible, shareable through web portals, print, or manuals
Managers have reporting and tools to monitor usage and where employees need help.
