Production Job Cards for Modular Kitchen Work
Each approved kitchen becomes a set of job cards that the workshop builds from. Stages are marked as they finish, so the showroom knows what is ready.
From work order to cutting list
The approved unit list is turned into panels. Sizes come from the measurement sheet and your own allowances for filler, skirting and scribe. Board grade and thickness print beside each panel, and the edge band colour goes on the same sheet. Panels are grouped by board so a full sheet is used well. The list can be printed for the panel saw or sent out to a cutting supplier.
Stages a unit passes through
What the owner sees
Job cards roll up into a view of factory load. Kitchens waiting to be cut, units in assembly and projects packed and ready for dispatch each have their own count. A unit held up for a shutter finish that has not arrived shows against the project, not buried in a worker diary. Delivery dates can then be discussed with the client on the strength of the floor.
What job cards do not do
- They do not run your panel saw or edge bander directly
- Machine time costing and worker piece rates are separate work
- Which stages you record is set from how your workshop runs
- Quality standards for a finish remain your own call
Frequently asked questions
What if panels are cut outside our workshop?
The cutting list is still raised, and it goes out as a purchase order to the panel supplier. Receipt of cut panels is then recorded.
Can two kitchens be cut together?
Yes. Panels from more than one project can be grouped by board, and each panel keeps its project and unit code.
Does a worker mark the stage on the shop floor?
Yes, where a tablet or a shared screen is placed in the workshop. Otherwise the factory in-charge updates the cards.
Are unit labels printed?
Labels can print from a label or barcode printer, and the model is confirmed when the workshop is set up.
