I've dumped Production in the cacky. It has been coming for quite some time now - in fact, I've been waiting for the perfect moment to do it. The perfect moment being, of course, the point in space/time when they are capable of fully appreciating just how much trouble they are in.
What is the trouble? We are building an Aseptic Manufacturing suite. And we have a paper-based system. We can't have paper in the critical manufacturing area the way we could in our old Cleanroom setup (which allows for a very small number of bugs.). And our largest batch document weighs in at 54 pages. Which means that autoclavable paper (which does exist) is far too expensive for the job.
I have to admit, I did see it coming. The switch to Aseptic manufacturing has been on the cards for a long time now. But Production have been far too busy to really appreciate that they have a logistics problem of epic proportions on their hands. I had a meeting with them late yesterday afternoon about it. We managed to outline the problem, but solutions are a long way off.
The real solution would be to computerise the whole shebang. But that is hideously expensive and, as a result, a last resort.
Either way, the word "innovative" was used during the meeting yesterday. I suspect we'll be hearing it a lot. I'm looking forward to finding out what the solution is going to be.

I guess that means they can't have sections of SOPs in there either.. especially since Anarchist Prime has double their size..
