Today's workforce is expected to accomplish more and more in their standard work day. Streamlining the daily workflow process of how you perform your job can save time, which ultimately saves money. A typical steel plant can have thousands of important documents from drawings, specs, and photos, to vendor cut-sheets, operations & maintenance manuals that need to be accessed on a daily basis. The time spent searching for these documents could be better utilized performing other vital job tasks. Organizing all of these documents into a workable environment that allows quick and easy access can be a daunting task. Using Geographical Information System (GIS) technology can take all of those documents from your desks, flat files and file cabinets to your fingertips with a click of a mouse. This paper focuses on ATSI's process using GIS technology to integrate thousands of documents into a single efficient application that allows team members, managers and decision makers simple and efficient access to all of their files from a desktop computer or mobile device. Early estimates show that using GIS technology for simple asset and document management and retrieval can save an average worker 25% of their time. Looking to the future, this technology will prove to be a breakthrough in cost efficiency for the steel industry.
