A supervisor at an electronics manufacturing company I do work for said about the shop floor going paperless "We've never printed more documentation than we currently go through now. Being paperless doesn't mean we don't print documentation, it means we don't keep it so that the next time it is needed it gets printed again." This is the reality of paperless operation in manufacturing facilities, where every shop floor workstation does not have a dedicated computer. Going paperless takes real planning and a thourough understanding of manufacturing requirements, otherwise it winds up being more costly in the long run.
