Digital work instructions

Work instructions come in different shapes and names within the production industry. For example; SOP’s, OnePointLessons and more. Work instructions are there to give the operator a clear and structured explanation about the execution of a specific task or procedure. Such work instructions consist out of step-by-steps instructions, with important safety- and quality aspects which are relevant when performing a action or procedure. Which PPE should the operator wear or which tools should he/she use for instance.

A digital work instruction looks like the step-by-step instruction you receive while learning how to drive a car: check if the gear is in neutral, start the engine, step on the clutch, shift to the first gear and etc. The purpose of work instructions is to enable operators to execute work in a efficient and standardized way.

It’s important that work instructions or standard operating procedures are not confused with factory processes or procedures. A process is a chain of activities within your production environment. A procedure establishes how your operators should perform these processes and which employee is responsible for said task. A work instruction – SOP-  describes in detail how an activity within a process (or procedure) should be performed.

Why are digital work instructions so important?

Work instructions retain knowledge within a company and ensure that they can be accessed easily by new and current employees. When ‘this is the way things are done’ is only passed on verbally from employee to employee, there is room for interpretation and human error. Knowledge of how to perform a task most efficiently is lost when an employee leaves the company and takes that knowledge with them before it is stored in a digital platform. Excellent work instructions avoid all of this and keep the knowledge within your factory. Furthermore, operators should execute tasks or operations in a standardized way to prevent deviations in the production process. By digitizing work instruction in the EZ-GO app, which works both on iOS Apple and Android operating systems, operators always have the most updated version at hand and this will trigger him to use it more often. Looking for outdated work instructions which are stored within binders in cabinets on the production floor are not future proof anymore.

Digital work instructions reduce risks concerning accident or unsafe situations. Because digital work instructions explain the safest way of completing a task, your operators know the risks and safety standards associated with the work. In other words, clarity and standardization avoid mistakes and critical fails.

Finally, digital work instructions are time-saving. When you log on to the app, you can see at a glance what your core tasks are and which digital work instructions go with the tasks. This improves safety, quality and efficiency. Unique to the EZ-GO app is that our main focus is on the operator.
