Overview:
This webinar kicks off the Engineering and Operations Work Order Webinar Series by putting everyone on the same page with a big picture view, as well as a micro view, of the process. Knowing how and where the work we do fits into the overall process provides perspective and understanding that is important to getting the work done, working well with others, and knowing how the work you do impacts others.
Note: The Understanding the Work Order System Series is comprised of eight webinars from March through October 2025. Webinars can be taken individually or as an entire series; by registering for the full series, you will receive all eight webinars at a discounted price.
Objectives:
- Review the work order/job process and its baseline flow.
- Identify the components of a project: material, labor, overheads.
- Understand the creation of an asset with engineering and staking; warehouse; and plant accounting and asset conversion.
