Reduction in errors and rework; Errors and rework are the bane of manufacturing since they are the source of waste and delays. An automated system can help reduce errors and provide early warning of problems through the use of rules governing the various steps in product manufacturing. The potential cost savings provide a powerful motivation for purchasing a WIP tracking system.

Elimination of paperwork; An automated system can eliminate or reduce the need for paperwork, which is time consuming to generate and fill out and can easily be lost or misfiled.

Real-time updates for large customers; Customers can login to obtain real-time updates of jobs. This leads to increased customer satisfaction and customer retention. It also reduces cost by the elimination of time spent by managers generating manual status updates.

Provision of an audit trail; Compliance with government and corporate regulations can be verified using the audit trail provided by the tracking system. The audit trail also helps with defect and error analysis.

Resource planning: Shift worker schedules can be planned with confidence.

Quicker identification of material shortages and bottlenecks; Efficiency can be improved by identifying the need for rearranging or reconfiguring workstations or purchasing more raw materials using reports based on the average backlog at particular workstations.

Metrics for worker efficiency; The system can indirectly track worker efficiency. More efficient workers can be rewarded and less efficient workers targeted for additional training or supervision.
