Your factory’s knowledge shouldn’t retire when people do.
Factory Memory captures tribal knowledge, lessons learned, and historical decisions — searchable, evidence-linked, and reusable by every future decision.
Decades of operational knowledge walks out the door
Substitutions, supplier quirks, and process workarounds exist only in veterans’ heads.
The same problems are re-solved from scratch every time they recur.
Lessons-learned documents are written once and never read again.
Turnover and retirement convert experience into permanent loss.
Factory Memory, inside the Operational Intelligence Layer
Every screen answers three questions: What is happening? Why? What should I do next?
Substituted on WO-7211 (Mar 2024) and WO-7689 (Sep 2024). Form-fit-function per ECO-2291; no field issues in 14 months. Note from J. Whitfield (Sr. Planner, retired): “2240B runs 2°C hotter at full duty — flag for sealed enclosures.”
~50 units safety stock under LTA; 2-day transfer if requested before 14:00 ET. Used during Mar 2024 shortage.

Historical Decisions
Who decided what, when, why, and how it turned out.
Evidence Links
Every knowledge item tied to the orders, parts, suppliers, and events behind it.
