2. Create a Part

2.2 Add Scope of Work (SOW)

Objective

To provide a clear and concise procedure for team members to add a scope of work to a part, ensuring consistency and accuracy in data entry while minimizing misunderstandings and errors

Key Steps

  1. Access the Scope of Work Tab
    • Navigate to the part details and click on the “Scope of Work” tab
  2. Choose a Template
    • If the tab is empty, select the option to start from a template.
    • Choose the appropriate template that has been previously set up by your organization if one has been set up (e.g., “Polymer templates”)
    • Click on “Load Template” to populate the scope of work
  3. Review and Edit Groups
    • The template will display predefined groups (e.g., “Information About Components” and “Production Data Summary”)
    • You can rename these groups as needed
  4. Enter Data
    • Input values for each item according to your organization’s data storage requirements
    • Example: Enter the date (e.g., “24th of Jan, 2025”) and any relevant comments
    • Ensure to mark required fields that must be followed during manufacturing
  5. Input Production Data
    • Provide detailed production data as necessary (e.g., “Infill Percentage: 50%”)
    • Note: You are not required to fill all fields before saving
  6. Edit or Delete Items
    • Use the three dots next to each item to:
      • Edit the item in a sidebar
      • Delete the item if it is no longer needed
    • You can also add new items to the group or delete entire groups if necessary
  7. Reorganize Items and Groups
    • Move items within a group or between groups as needed
    • Collapse and expand groups to focus on specific sections
  8. Final Review
    • Review all entries for accuracy and completeness before saving
    • Save your changes

Cautionary Notes

  • Double-check that all ‘Required’ fields are checked accurately to avoid manufacturing errors
  • Be cautious when deleting items or groups; ensure that they are no longer needed

Tips for Efficiency

  • Familiarize yourself with the template structure before starting to save time during data entry
  • Use comments effectively to provide context for each entry, which can help others understand the data later
  • Regularly review and update templates to reflect any changes in organizational requirements or practices
