The new Quality Assurance modules are well written and fit manufacturing very well, they should help us with Audits, Corrective Actions and ISO
Custom Fields are extremely useful
The new printing (no more print agent/server)is a great improvement
The new Health and Safety module will increase the accuracy of documentation and improve our facilities

For our style of manufacturing the Shop Floor Workbench has caused some issues on the shop floor
We are having labor time tracking issues due to the increased complexity
No default logins
No keypad
Working with R and D to address some of these problems
