Manufacturing Work Instruction examples that include process pictures

[swanny297]

Hey all - I looked through the attachment files for any examples but I am looking for some sample templates of manufacturing work instructions that include process pictures. I have a version in word but it can be cumbersome to insert and format pictures. Without recreating anything does anyone have an excel template they would be willing to share?

Thanks
Clint

Some pretty good examples if you go to Google and search for "Pictorial Work Instructions". Hundreds of them...

We call them VPM - Visual Procedure Manuals, I write them for all of our major projects and some of the minor ones. Everyone is on the same playing field when working from one of these. For smaller items , like Quality alerts, where some parts may look similar, we use pictures to show the differences.

Work instructions and/or process instructions can get quite "large" on the file size, but there are picture file formats or video file formats that you can compress. If I remember some PNG of TIFF photos can maintain the resolution, but are small file size. I remember working on a visual work instruction that ended up being 120 meg and that was back in the day when gigabyte USB sticks were not available. Also large files can take a while to pull up on a network workstation. You could also print the final document to PDF with some additional compression that helps with the file size.
