Let’s walk through an example of how KanBo can simplify the engineering process for a body shop plant.

First, the engineer can create a Workspace for the specific project, ensuring that all relevant team members are invited to collaborate and communicate in one place. Within the Workspace, the engineer can create Cards for each task that needs to be completed, such as creating a concept for order control and designing the interfaces to higher-level systems.

Next, the engineer can assign team members to each Card and set due dates to ensure timely completion. As each task is completed, team members can easily update the Card with notes, checklists, and any relevant documents or files.

If any issues arise during the process, the engineer can use KanBo’s Board Chat feature to quickly communicate with team members and resolve the problem. With the ability to use Microsoft Office skills, such as adding rich text to messages, Board Chat is a convenient way to keep all communication in one place.

Once the project is complete, the team can create an acceptance protocol using KanBo’s reporting features, providing a comprehensive overview of the project’s progress and ensuring that all requirements have been met.

By using KanBo’s streamlined process for project management, engineers can save time and increase productivity, while also improving communication and collaboration within their team.
