Shop Work Order

A work order is a multi-page document that provides information to production staff that is required to manufacture a part. The work order document also includes areas that allow staff to record certain information about that process.

Work orders must contain the following information:

  • What part is being made?

  • How many are to be made?

  • When do they have to be completed by?

  • What component parts or materials are needed?

  • How and where do we make it in the shop?

  • What quality control checks are required?

  • Related information, such as press settings, inspection steps, etc.

The first page lists details about:

  • the work order, number of parts, and when it is due

  • the part used

  • any subcontractor information

  • the bill of materials

  • and the routing summary

Other pages will be specific to each part routing operation, displaying detailed information for each operation.

Considering the work order settings, a completion work order label may be printed to be affixed to the part along with any part drawings that would help production staff better understand what needs to be done.
