work instructions

 

A typical page displays 8 steps of work instructions - thereby saving paper and making it easier for users to see the big picture of how the steps fit together.

Notice that you can use fonts and colors and icons to make your standardized work instructions stand out.
And you you can add shapes and arrows to make your visual work instructions more clear.

To insert an image, you simply click the Add Image button and then scroll to select your image - and your image is automatically sized and placed perfectly.

Then you can easily resize an image to make it bigger...

 

 

For long instructions...
you can make an instruction box bigger
or better yet, refer to Comments at the bottom
and you can add hyperlinks to related documents
and you can even make active hyperlinks in your PDF's

Every time that you generate a printable Job Instructions report
step numbers are auto-regenerated
and all of your pictures and instructions are automatically re-shuffled in proper sequence


 

New features in versions 5 & 6

Version control - centralized data can instantly update multiple related worksheets - for header data, field labels, and other shared data.
Each field on each worksheet can be either populated from a central version control page - or overridden with data unique to that worksheet.
This centralized version control worksheet is a real time and mistake saver even when used in a stand-alone workbook - and really shines in an ISO 9000 workplace - especially when integrated with your favorite third-party version control software.

Standard Work Analysis

Although the Systems2win Job Instructions worksheet comes with unlimited user-defined fields, and it is possible to use all of the calculation powers of Excel...
why would you want to waste your valuable time re-inventing formulas when there is already a template that has all Standard Work Analysis formulas pre-programmed?

It is more common to use the Standard Work Combination Sheet for process analysis and improvement - (to analyze lead time, cycle time, value add time, etc.) - and to use these (far more detailed) Visual Instructions as a powerful training aid - for training temporaries, new-hires, and cross-training for people who need to fill in when the primary worker goes on vacation (or retires).

System requirements: Requires Excel XP2002 or higher. Earlier versions of Excel are not robust enough to support this power tool.

This Visual Job Instructions template is available a la carte for $499

Or is included in the Discount Bundle of 100+ templates for 10 users for $199/seat
