The way your floor solves problems

Shops tend to ask early about drawings sent by their customers. Those are checked in scoping, and customer-owned material can stay out.

Records that tell the story

Whenever a part drifted out of spec and was brought back, it left a trail:

Inspection data and nonconformance reports
Root cause notes and corrective actions
Work instructions, routings and setup sheets
Quotes from suppliers and the conversations behind them

The worry: customer drawings

A lot of work runs to customer drawings covered by NDA. Your contracts decide whether any can go in, which your own counsel should judge; legal advice is not something we give. Customer-owned material is reviewed in scoping and may stay out, with customer names in the copy swapped for placeholders. Controlled aerospace or defense work can be marked and kept out altogether.

Your know-how stays yours

What you license is a copy, never your methods. Your original files stay put, and you may keep out anything central to how the shop works.

What a buyer actually sees

Say parts start to drift out of tolerance on the night shift. Inspection spots it, a nonconformance report opens, worn tooling on one machine turns out to be the cause, and a new tool-change interval puts the parts back in spec. The buyer sees that path from symptom to fix, with placeholders for customers, suppliers and staff.

How we build the copy

It starts with an NDA. License Your Data prepares the de-identified copy, nobody asks for a password, and you approve a sample before anything goes out. You exclude any system, folder or customer you choose. There is no cost to you.

A typical fit

Manufacturers, fabricators and machine shops that have 20 or more full-time staff and hold 3 or more years of records in an ERP, quality system, email or shared drives. Smaller shops may also qualify if their history goes back years.

Worth knowing

Do we need every system?: No. A quality system or a folder of work instructions can be enough to start.
Who should be on the call?: Normally the owner or plant manager, along with whoever runs your ERP and file shares.
Will the floor be disrupted?: No. Your systems keep everything, and production carries on as usual.

Wondering what your files could be worth?

Just answer three questions. A License Your Data specialist calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call.
