Building a Digital Library in a Manufacturing Company

Abstract

Every company, both government and private, which runs business activities, cannot be separated from 
document recording/archiving. Documents are created to record everything related to various activities 
ranging from attendance data, purchase data, sales data, financial data, audit data, training data and 
others. Good documentation and archiving will make it easier for each section to be audited by both 
internal auditors and external auditors. With good documentation management, ideas, ideas and 
thoughts that have been done previously will be stored and can be reopened when needed. The rapid 
development of information technology has a positive impact on document storage/archiving methods. 
Currently, document storage/archiving can be overcome by changing the form of paper printed 
documents into digital form and stored on storage media. In manufacturing companies, currently there 
are still many companies that archive documents by storing them in their respective departments so that 
the availability of shelves in that department increases and this has an impact on the availability of space. 
So that document access can be done centrally, archiving is needed like a library. Documents that need 
to be archived at manufacturing companies include SOPs, production data, sample test data, ISO data, 
customer audit data, supplier audit data, training data, book/reference data and others.
