I don't think this is ideal for what they want, because it's 20 extra steps to open up all the subassemblies and print them out each time. This adds to the overall time to complete a build, and production will not even take one extra step with their foot if they can avoid it to increase efficiency!
I guess we have a few options:
1. They keep a printed list of each sub-assembly at their desk.
2. We remove the sub-assemblies from the main component and just list all the parts.
Neither of these solutions is ideal because 1. We don't want static lists of parts that could become out of sync with our computer system. 2. Our products are complicated and if we have to spell out all the parts for each variation (rather than just adding or removing subassemblies on the build order) it's not very realistic for what we do.
At this point we might start looking around to see what else is out there aside from Quickbooks. So far it isn't improving efficiency in our processes, and that won't last too long in our culture.
