A work instruction (also referred to as work guide, job aid, standard operating procedure, or visual aid as it's commonly referred to in FactoryLogix) is a document that describes to shop floor personnel how a part or assembly should be built, often using both text-based instructions and visual aids such as diagrams or photos.
In FactoryLogix, an Active Work Instruction is an interactive document that can include color-coded parts lists or BOM blocks (detailed parts list), smart text, graphics, callouts, and video. Shop floor personnel use Active Work Instructions to complete specific tasks in a manufacturing process.
In the FactoryLogix Office client application, you can create Active Work Instruction templates. These templates save time by eliminating the need to document new work instructions each time a new product or product revision is built. Using templates also helps you provide consistent instructions for shop floor personnel.

If multiple templates use some of the same elements, you can select the Save As button on the Templates tab to save a version of an Active Work Instruction template with a different name, then modify that version without having to start over with a blank template. |
