Manufacturers and the history of the floor
Your production and quality records show how real problems are fixed on the shop floor. Customer drawings and controlled work can be left out.
Get my estimateA common starting point
The quality trail makes a strong first scope: nonconformance reports, the corrective actions taken and the work instructions revised because of them. Together they trace each problem from discovery to fix. Supplier quotes and production history are optional and can stay back if they say more than you want.
However you begin, the copy follows one process. License Your Data prepares the copy from approved records only, with placeholders for names and identifiers, and you approve a sample before release. Your originals stay in your systems throughout.
Records that tend to come up
- Inventory and production history in your ERP or MES
- Quotes from suppliers and the RFQs behind them
- Reviews of designs for manufacturability
- Corrective action and nonconformance records
- Routings and work instructions
What happens to customer drawings
Plenty of manufacturers build to customer prints under confidentiality agreements. Those agreements set what is possible, so make the call with your counsel. You can exclude anything customer owned, and customer names become placeholders in every case.
Any export controlled material from defense or aerospace jobs is flagged during scoping and may be excluded in full.
A few more points
- Your methods stay with you. A copy is all that is licensed, and core processes, product lines or periods can be kept back.
- Placeholders for every name. Staff, suppliers and other firms are replaced, and payment details are removed from the copy.

Will you ask for our ERP credentials?
No. Passwords are never requested or shared.
What do we approve?
Scope comes first, meaning systems and periods, and then a sample of the copy before anything is shared.
Will the floor be slowed down?
No. Nothing moves out of your systems and production carries on as normal.
Your industry never changes the number.
