Work order completion

What is work order completion?

Work order completion is the process of documenting the result of a job that is performed. Work order completion records are used to track what needs to be done and who did it, so they can verify that they have completed all their tasks before leaving work. It's also known as a work order or job ticket.

What is a work order completion record?

A work order completion record is a form that you can use to track the progress of jobs and other tasks. As you complete a job, you fill out this form and keep it on file for future reference. This helps ensure that your company maximizes its profits by completing all necessary steps before invoicing clients or billing them for services rendered.

The following information should be included in your work order completion record:

• Date and time (including time zone)
• Names of those involved in completing the job
• Information about what was done during this time (e.g., installed new parts)
• You may also want to include notes about why certain decisions were made throughout this process—this could consist of cost estimates or quotes from competing businesses.

Why is it important for maintenance teams to keep work order completion records?

Maintenance teams keep records of work orders completed for several reasons:

1. Accountability: Recording completed work orders helps to establish accountability. It ensures that the team is held responsible for the work they have done and that any issues or concerns can be addressed by management.
2. Historical records: Keeping records of completed work orders helps to create a historical record of the maintenance work that has been done. This information can be helpful in tracking trends, identifying recurring issues, and making decisions about future maintenance work.
3. Regulatory compliance: Many industries have regulations that require maintenance records to be kept. For example, the aviation industry needs detailed records of all maintenance work performed on aircraft to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
4. Cost tracking: Keeping records of work orders completed can help the maintenance team to track costs associated with maintenance work. This information can be used to make decisions about budgeting, resource allocation, and prioritization of work.
5. Performance metrics: Maintenance records can be used to track performance metrics such as the number of work orders completed, the time it takes to complete work, and the percentage of work completed on time. This information is used to identify improvement areas and set performance targets.

What are the steps to complete a work order?

The first step to completing a work order is collecting information about the job. Once you have collected this information, you can then document it. Completing a work order involves signing off with your supervisor or maintenance manager and submitting it to our team for review.

How do you use a work order template?

A work order template is a document that tracks the progress of a project and keeps track of who is responsible for different tasks. You fill out the work order template with the necessary information and then have your supervisor or manager sign off on the template. From here, the template must be documented and kept somewhere safe for record tracking. A CMMS can simplify this process.
