how.fm Lean

The fastest way to write it down.

Your best process lives in the head of one team lead. Lean gets it out: capture the process on the floor, and how.fm AI drafts a structured WI your process owner or trainer reviews and approves. Always current, versioned, and ready to become training, live-guidance, and then lived practice.

Capture

From smartphone photos or clips to a structured WI.

Once document a process the way it’s actually done. Lean turns the footage into steps, images, and meta information. A draft your process owner likes to review and work with. Instead of a blank or formatting-heavy page they avoid.

  • Capture on any phone or tablet, right at the workstation
  • Draft or let AI draft individual steps and more
  • Review and approve before anything goes live

Import

Let the Word-and-PDF chaos behind.

Most sites don’t lack standards. They have them scattered across shared drives, binders, and laminated sheets in one team lead's drawer or pinned up at the other workstation. Import what exists, and Lean restructures it into one consistent, searchable repository.

  • Import Microsoft Office files, PDF, and other text- or image-based instructions
  • One format across every process and site
  • Find, present, or train any standard in seconds

Living repository

One version of the truth, with a memory.

Every policy or WI in how.fm carries its full version history: what changed, when, edited by whom. “Which revision are we on?” stops being a question anyone asks. That’s standard work in the lean sense: a current, documented baseline every improvement is measured against.

  • Version history on every standard
  • Draft and publishing flows with clear ownership
  • Update once, everyone always sees the current version next

Lean feeds Learn

The standard that trains the floor.

A published WI is just the beginning. Learn then lets you builds courses from your standards, translated into 30+ languages with engaging voice-overs. Later revise the WI, and the training follows.

  • Courses generated straight from approved policies or WIs
  • 30+ languages, subtitles and voiced for every reading level
  • No drift between what’s written and what’s trained

Common questions

What ops leaders ask us

We have hundreds of policies, SOPs and WIs. Do we need to start over?

Absolutely not. You can easily import them and pick it up from there. Lean restructures existing files into one consistent format, so your ten years of process knowledge becomes the starting point, not the problem.

Who checks what the AI writes?

Your team does. Every AI-drafted content can go through a review flow before it’s published. The people who know the process improve and approve it. AI just saves them the majority of the typing effort.

What happens when a process changes?

Update the how.fm sequence once. Version history records what changed and who edited it, and any connected Learn course updates in every language automatically.

Can team leads, shift leads, or trainers capture processes themselves?

Yes, indeed! That’s the plan. Filming a process on a smartphone takes minutes, so the standard gets written by the person who actually knows it, not reconstructed in an office.
