Just a few suggestions for programming
documentation.
In our shop I use differant color plastic
manilla folders for all the information.
The folder has the SC Job Plan with tools,
the SC graphic file with notes for
machine setup, the NC program and the
blueprint. In the back of the folder
I staple in a comment sheet for special
notes, problems, etc. so the operators can
relay messages back to me for errors
and such. For extensive setup notes I type
it
up on MS Word, laminate it and staple it in the front of the folder.
I also make a label for the folder
that has the part # and what machine it is ran
on.
The folders are color coded for
certain machines so at a glance everyone knows
what
machine that particular job is ran on.
The program folder, shop routing and work
order
are put in a plastic bag so everything stays
together throughout the shop.
The saw operator cuts the jobs and
will load the carts with color
coded packets that go to
each machine.
Every time the job is ran by a differant
operator he looks at the comment sheet for prior notes
when it was ran before and it is always
dated and initialed by who setup the job.
Once the program is proven the comment sheet
in the back should read something like this.

It helps the operators achive
faster setup times with good documentation.
Please feel free to use these suggestions, I
know it works in our shop.
