What types of manufacturing records can be stored offsite?

Manufacturers store production records, quality assurance files, inspection reports, maintenance logs, purchase orders, contracts, supplier documentation, engineering drawings, and employee files offsite. Document storage for manufacturers also covers backup tapes and digital media through vaulting services.

Records management for manufacturers works best when everything past its active-use period moves offsite, leaving only frequently accessed files onsite. The same approach works across manufacturing industries, from automotive and electronics to food and beverage and medical devices.
