Introduction to Work Instructions

Use this guide to create, publish, assign, maintain, and retire Work Instructions throughout their controlled lifecycle.

Work Instructions move from an approved source or new draft to published guidance used during iMaintenance or mRounds execution. The topics follow that lifecycle rather than the application menu.

Follow the supervisor journey

Review the dashboard and instruction statuses to decide whether to create, revise, distribute, or retire an instruction.
Choose a source and create the instruction from video, document, or scratch.
After publication, assign the instruction to the correct iMaintenance work order or operation, or to the correct mRounds round or task.
Use field feedback to identify corrections and publish a controlled update when needed.
Manage language, offline availability, archive status, search, and reuse as the instruction moves through its operational life.
