Work Instructions

Maintain and Improve Productivity, Quality, and Safety

Standard work instructions document the most efficient method for performing work within the designated takt (cycle) time. As part of Lean and Kaizen initiatives, they highlight opportunities to reduce non-value-adding work content. But as improvements are implemented, those instructions must be updated promptly to reflect the changes-and doing that manually is a major challenge for anyone tasked with keeping documentation current.

Create and Maintain Work Instructions Directly from Your Process

Integrates Directly with Your Current Excel Formats

Timer Pro’s Work Instruction module embeds your own customized format-including video clips-inside your existing Excel documents, so you keep full control of your layout and supporting content.

• Embed your customized Timer Pro work instruction format, with video clips, and add the critical process data your operations need-tooling, components, safety items, graphics, and more.
• Automatically identify changes made to the process in Timer Pro and regenerate the revised work instruction package-copying all supporting data to its new location with zero manual effort, eliminating potential errors.
• Maintain a complete, traceable revision history as improvements are implemented, automatically detailing every process step that was moved, added, or deleted.

Greatly Simplified Maintenance

These features replace the enormous amount of manual maintenance traditionally required to keep standard work instructions current-exporting an updated process straight to your work instructions in moments, whenever the underlying line balance changes.

With Timer Pro, your work instructions stay accurate automatically-turning a constant maintenance burden into a byproduct of continuous improvement.
