| The
implementation of a Cimage Document Management system can bring many advantages and
provide pay-back of investment in a very short time: Enhanced efficiency of safety procedures through rapid availability
and improved accuracy of information to plant personnel.
Meeting the requirements and gaining the approval of
regulators.
Handling print loads associated with planned outages.
Optimizing return on plant investment by increasing
plant availability.
Reducing the overhead costs of reproducing and
distributing documents.
Eliminating time wasted looking for, or waiting for,
information.
Enforcement, control, and monitoring of business
processes. |

A Document Management system
in the Nuclear Industry must not only manage all of the document types, but it must also
make it easy for a user to understand any relationships between documents. For example,
the system should manage the relationship between documents and any equipment records to
which they refer. In addition, baseline documents and associated changes, including
outstanding, and future (pending), can be automatically displayed.  Because
plant configuration and operational procedures are subject to change, the system must
provide a means to manage these changed processes, ensuring that they comply with mandated
procedures.
Most importantly, since documents are used by almost everyone who works at a plant, the
system must provide interfaces that anyone can use and present information in the
different ways appropriate to different roles.
Specifically, a Cimage Document Management system:
- Integrates with your work management system
- Displays work order folders
- Batch prints document sets for outages
- Automatically creates raster version of documents for "copy of record"
- Controls the creation/capture and storage of documents
- Controls the distribution of those documents
- Communicates the documents to the people who need to use them
- Provides controls over who may access information
- Ensures only the correct version of a document is used
- Ensures that only authorized personnel may make revisions to documents.
