Product launch approaching but the User Manuals are still on the ‘To Do’ list? Speak to Orchid
How Orchid Can Help
It often happens that when a company, after many months of research and product development, finally comes to the point of bringing a product to market, that they realise that the documentation is the last, but vitally important, item on the project plan. Frequently we are asked to produce User Guides and Operating Manuals for new products as staff are tied up with the product launch and the product cannot go to market without the necessary documentation in place.
Existing products, on the other hand, require ongoing maintenance to maintain their market position. These changes, along with those due to revisions in legislation, company policy etc., need to be reflected in the product documentation. This is essential to keep support costs as low as possible and yet it is another task that is often overlooked or considered a burden to those tasked.
Let us take the documentation burden off of your staffs’ shoulders so that they can be released to concentrate on designing, building, launching and maintaining your products while we deliver your professional documentation.

Computer Based Training
Computer Based Training (CBT) has real benefits for the training of manufacturing staff, as the training can take place in the working environment and can be undertaken by individuals when they have time or during allocated time slots. CBT is particularly suited to the familiarisation of new staff with company procedures/systems. CBT can be modular in design and developed to run on industry standard multimedia computers.
With careful planning and document design it is possible to utilise material generated for works operating manuals into the preparation of the associated CBT modules. This can make the overall project more cost effective and efficient. The shared information can be supplemented in the CBT with the addition of video, animations, sound clips and exercises.
