A work ticket is a form specific to a task, package, or drop in a job. It provides the production shop floor worker with pertinent information to complete the task at hand. Information such as work instructions, packages, lists, and products associated with the task are displayed on the work ticket.
Depending upon your set-up options the work ticket can also display a table that will allow the shop floor workers to track time/counts. The work ticket can then be referenced when time/counts are entered into the system.
The below example is a printed work ticket for the Inserting task within the Inserting Work Center. There are several set-up options that may affect the appearance of your work tickets. There are options to include Job Summary, operations, and a Time Entry Grid on each work ticket. Please refer to the PCS Set-Up chapter for additional information.
