Work Instructions
also known as Job Instructions, Operation Instructions, or Visual Work
A work instructions template makes it easy to train people better and faster.
Although most commonly called Job Instructions,
this same tool is also known by the name Visual Work
Instructions -
which more vividly describes what makes this so effective as
a training tool:
people simply learn better and faster when they can see
both written operation instructions and pictures.
By any name, a work instruction template is ideal for:
- Training someone who is new to a job
- Training temporaries and/or cross-trained workers - so that the person who regularly does the job can take a vacation every now and again - without the rest of the work team suffering costly downturns in both quality and efficiency
- A written supplement to TWI Training Within Industry Job Instructions training

Easily understood operation 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 work 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
Step numbers are auto-regenerated
every time that you generate a printable Job Instructions report
and all of your pictures and instructions are automatically re-shuffled in
proper sequence
And you can change the word(s) for the Step Label that appears before the number,
and even skip step numbering - (perhaps for additional explanation of complex sub-steps).
