Challenge

Global manufacturing operations hindered by manual documentation processes

MISUMI supports a global network of manufacturing and automation teams with a catalogue of over 80 sextillion configurable components. Their existing documentation process was time-consuming and inconsistent—teams spent hours manually drafting SOPs, hindering new-hire training and cross-team alignment.

The manual approach created bottlenecks:

  • 4-6 hours per SOP using screenshots and write-ups
  • Inconsistent standards across global teams
  • Knowledge gaps during employee transitions
  • Delayed training for new manufacturing processes
