Manage Production Esri Defense Mapping

Managing Production

- Productivity- Preconfigured and repeatable processes- Simplification and automation- Ensure standardization and consistency

- Quality- Built-in QC procedures- QA/QC process enforcement- Reduce errors and improve efficiency

- Manage a dispersed workforce, including contractors

Workflow Manager

• Workflow Manager Desktop Application- Execute workflows- Tracks progress- Support job reassignment

as necessary- Designed to prevent conflicts

between jobs- Defense workflow templates

- Support TDS & MGCP production for contractor/co-producer

Tools for Managing ProductionWorkflow Manager

Managing ProductionTask Assistant Manager

• Create and Standardize workflows in ArcMap

• Promotes sharing of knowledge- Experienced users create

workflows- Less experienced users execute- Communicate best practices

• Provides consistency and efficiency
