Manufacturing document control coordinates how drawings, specifications, procedures, and quality records are reviewed, approved, distributed, revised, and retired. Reynolds maps access, revision, change-control, nonconformance, audit-evidence, integration, and retention requirements to a validated configuration. The manufacturer's quality and regulatory teams approve the applicable standards, workflows, acceptance criteria, and rollout plan.
Centralize manufacturing documents, configure revision controls, and organize the records your quality team needs for review.
Laserfiche is an enterprise content-management platform that can support manufacturing document-control workflows across aerospace, automotive, and industrial operations. Reynolds scopes revision control, audit records, and integration requirements for each implementation. The configured system can support a quality program, but does not by itself establish ISO compliance.
Select the challenges you want Reynolds to review. Financial impact is scoped from your own operating data during discovery.
workflow areas selected
No savings or implementation estimate is generated from assumed industry averages.
Manual workflow
Engineer emails change request. No tracking, no visibility.
Printed copies circulated for signatures. Lost in inboxes.
Finding all affected drawings, specs, and BOMs across network drives.
Manually distribute to floor. Hope old revisions are removed.
Configured digital workflow
Digital form with configured routing to approved reviewers and exception paths.
All stakeholders notified simultaneously. Mobile approvals.
Configured relationships can connect affected documents for review.
Approved revisions can be published and prior revisions marked obsolete according to configured rules.

From supplier onboarding to safety reporting—Laserfiche automates the workflows that keep manufacturing running.
Automate vendor registration, documentation collection, and approval workflows. Track W-9s, insurance certificates, quality certifications, and NDAs in one system.
Automated Workflows
Capture batch records, inspection reports, and manufacturing certifications. Maintain traceability from raw materials to finished goods.
Automated Workflows
Manage service history, preventive maintenance schedules, and calibration records with configurable reminders.
Automated Workflows
Configure revision control for drawings, specs, and change orders, with relationships between BOMs, drawings, and procedures where supported by the approved design.
Automated Workflows
Capture incidents immediately with mobile forms. Auto-route to safety team with escalation for serious events.
Automated Workflows
Operators access current drawings and SOPs from tablets on the production floor. No more trips to the engineering office.
Automated Workflows
Plan tablet access to current drawings and SOPs on the production floor. Reynolds validates field-data, connectivity, revision, security, and device requirements before launch.

A scoped, phased approach for configuring engineering documents and ECN workflows around your operating requirements.
A Reynolds specialist reviews your engineering document control, ECN workflow, and ISO/quality requirements to scope the right Laserfiche configuration.
We build revision control rules, ECN workflow automation, and ERP integration points to match your quality management system.
Existing drawings, quality records, and engineering documents are digitized or imported according to the approved migration plan.
Engineering, quality, and production staff are trained on revision control and ECN workflows before cutover.
When you check out a document to edit it, Laserfiche locks it to prevent conflicts. When you check it back in, it automatically creates a new revision while preserving the complete history. You can set rules to require approval before publishing, and the system automatically notifies downstream processes when documents change. Old revisions are clearly marked obsolete but remain accessible for audit purposes.
Laserfiche simplifies ISO audits. Instead of scrambling through filing cabinets, you generate an audit package in minutes. The system shows complete document history, every approval signature, who accessed what and when, and proof of training acknowledgments.
Yes. Laserfiche integrates with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Infor, and Microsoft Dynamics. We typically connect purchase orders, work orders, and quality records so documents are automatically linked to the right transactions. Reynolds handles the integration—you don't need IT expertise.
Implementation timing depends on scope, document volume, integrations, validation, training, and rollout requirements. Reynolds confirms a project schedule after discovery.
Laserfiche handles CAD files from SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo, Inventor, CATIA, and most other CAD systems. You can store native files, set up automated conversions to PDF for viewing, and create relationships between drawings and related specifications. We integrate with PLM systems when needed.
Both work well. Cloud eliminates infrastructure management and is increasingly popular. On-premise may be preferred for ITAR-controlled environments or companies with strict data residency requirements. Many manufacturers choose cloud for general documents and on-premise for controlled data. Reynolds helps you determine the right architecture.
