Tutorial

Tutorial: Govern a visual work instruction

Author, independently release, dispatch-pin and complete one exact controlled-media instruction without creating a second execution engine.

Learning goal

Audience

Manufacturing Engineers, Production Managers, planners, operators, Quality Inspectors and auditors.

Goal

Understand exact attachment, immutable visual media, version replacement, dispatch pinning, ordered observations and independent hold points.

Before you begin

Use an authorised training/disposable tenant or a completed read-only example
A manufacturing plan is current and independently released
CLEAN same-site PHOTO, VIDEO or DRAWING versions exist in Documents
Different named users cover author, release, operator and Quality hold decisions

Use safe learning data

Observation-first is the default. Do not create retained customer, procurement, receipt, inventory, Quality, Engineering or Manufacturing records merely to complete a tutorial.

Guided journey

1
Inventory, Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality
Find the current capabilities
Open /workspaces/manufacturing
Acting role
Every learner
What to do
Use workspace navigation to locate Engineering PLM, Manufacturing Visual work instructions, Inventory Calibration and Lifecycle operations, and Quality Metrology impact.
What you should observe
Current capabilities are reachable from their owning workspaces; full Sustainment/MRO remains explicitly coming soon.
May change
Nothing; workspace discovery is read-only.
Must remain unchanged
Visibility does not grant a domain permission or imply a complete Sustainment/Programme module.
2
Manufacturing
Create immutable version 1
Open /manufacturing/instructions
Acting role
Manufacturing Engineer
What to do
Select one exact released plan/operation, add unique ordered steps, controlled visual versions, acknowledgement/evidence flags and one Quality hold, then submit.
What you should observe
The exact plan source and visual definition receive SHA-256 fingerprints.
May change
Draft/submitted instruction version, evidence links, audit and outbox facts.
Must remain unchanged
No dispatch, operation, stock, custody, machine, callback or generic workflow is created.
3
Manufacturing
Reject and replace
Open /manufacturing/instructions
Acting role
Production Manager → Manufacturing Engineer
What to do
Reject v1 as a different Production Manager, create replacement v2 and approve it independently.
What you should observe
v1 remains immutable; v2 becomes the active future pin source.
May change
Review and active-version state only.
Must remain unchanged
A previously active version remains usable while a replacement is draft/rejected, and existing pins are never rewritten.
4
Manufacturing
Pin a fresh dispatch
Open /manufacturing/readiness
Acting role
Production Planner → Production Supervisor
What to do
Plan and independently release the exact operation dispatch after v2 is active.
What you should observe
The dispatch requirement freezes v2 and its fingerprint; later v3 cannot change this dispatch.
May change
Existing readiness dispatch/capacity evidence plus instruction requirement.
Must remain unchanged
No material move, calibration update, Assembly action or machine command occurs.
5
Manufacturing
Observe in exact order
Open /manufacturing/instructions
Acting role
Exact named Production Operator
What to do
Open each authenticated CLEAN media preview, acknowledge as required and record only observed facts/evidence in released order.
What you should observe
The run stops at the declared Quality hold and cannot skip or overwrite a step.
May change
Immutable attributable step observations.
Must remain unchanged
The operation itself is not yet executed and stock/custody remain unchanged.
6
Quality → Manufacturing
Clear the hold and execute
Open /manufacturing/instructions
Acting role
Different Quality Inspector → Production Operator
What to do
Accept the evidence-backed hold as an independent inspector, complete remaining steps, then record the existing operation in Build control.
What you should observe
Only COMPLETE pinned runs unlock the established operation endpoint; rejection stays blocked.
May change
Hold-review/run status, followed separately by the existing operation execution evidence.
Must remain unchanged
Flow 37 never becomes a second execution, workflow, safety, stock, custody or configuration engine.
