Use Work Instructions to Complete an Operation

If digital work instruction tasks are available for a work order operation, you can view them when completing the operation at a workstation.

The sequential tasks containing the work instructions are embedded in the execution flow and include text and images to help you complete a job without errors. You can refer to the work instruction tasks after starting operation execution.

To use digital work instructions to complete an operation:

  1. Click Start on the work order operation page after selecting or scanning a work order at your workstation.
  2. Click View Work Instruction under Actions to view instructions for the tasks that you need to complete.
    A guided set of steps take you through the tasks required to complete the operation. Your manufacturing engineer may have included images, diagrams, and text instructions to help complete each task in the operation.
  3. In case your work instructions have multiple tasks, click Continue and Back to move between task pages.
    You can also use the navigation links to view a list of tasks and jump to the task where you need help.
  4. Click Submit at the last task to return to the operation execution page.
    You can also click Finish Later to go back to the operation page at any time. It is not mandatory to complete the instructions to complete the operation.
    The instruction tasks are available to you for the entire duration of the operation execution cycle, and you can come back to the instruction tasks at any point during operation execution.
  5. Once you are ready to update and complete quantities, you can proceed for operation completion.
