How much is paper based data recording costing your pasteurization plant?

The calculations made are based on the following assumptions:

• Operations are 24/7
• A facility is using circular chart recorders and would need 2 charts per day
• Each circular chart recorder uses 3 pens, and pens last for 30 days
• Circular recorder charts are purchased in packages of 100 and lots of 2
• Circular recorder pens are purchased in packages of 5 and lots of 2
• Circular recorder service events occur once per year
• Space for the storage of new charts is 0.5 m²
• Space for the storage of recorded charts is 1 m²

• It takes 5 minutes for a procurement professional to order 2 lots of chart paper or 2 lots of pens
• It takes 5 minutes for a warehouse operator to receive 2 lots of paper or 2 lots of pens as inventory
• It takes 10 minutes for a production operator to retrieve new paper or pens
• It takes 5 minutes for production operator to install new paper or pens
• It takes 10 minutes for an auditor to retrieve or return data charts
