Digital work instructions ensure quality and continuity in production while creating safer workplaces. It’s critical to thoroughly evaluate your solution before you deploy it.
Return on investment (ROI) — often a CFO’s favorite metric — is an important part of that process. ROI measurement helps companies ensure their investment yields maximum profitability. Calculating ROI can be tricky, though, raising the risk of making a bad investment.
Challenges in ROI measurement
A cutting-edge digital work instructions solution creates a multiplier effect within your production ecosystem. It replaces paper-based processes and helps you save on associated costs. This is an obvious, direct financial benefit for your company. Real-time visual guidance and updated work instructions have a significant impact on your production lines, yielding several not-so-obvious benefits including increased efficiency, prevention of potential shutdowns and regulatory breaches.
How do you account for the benefits of preventing inefficiency and waste? By comparing these metrics against historical data and industry standards, you can include them in your ROI calculations. Unfortunately, availability of this data is limited because companies largely rely on manual processes, making it hard to crunch the numbers.
User adoption should be another key part of the ROI calculation. It plays a key role in getting the most out of your solution. If your employees are uncomfortable with the new technology and reluctant to use it, your digital strategy can backfire. Companies should plan how to drive user adoption to achieve maximum ROI for the solution and estimate this cost. Most companies miss this component and make a wrong ROI calculation.
