4. Describe work instruction in your own words


5. Explain the difference between procedure and work instruction
A Procedure is more detailed than a process, but less detailed than a work instruction. It tells
how a series of sequential tasks should be performed to achieve a specific outcome. You are
probably dealing with a procedure when the task has 10 separate actions or 3 or more small
tasks, the steps get 2 or more levels deep (steps and sub steps), the job involves more than 1
person or department, the task is completed from start to finish in one continuous time frame (no
significant delays between steps).
Your procedures are the second level of documentation, which should be more detailed and
describe who does what and when (in sequence or order). Activities for a department or function
might be listed along with the functional titles or positions responsible for the procedure. These
procedures can be text based but many use a process map to communicate the information.
As you rewrite the procedures for your application, be sure to verify your modifications against
the requirements of the ISO standard to ensure all requirements are still addressed. An example
of where you may want to change the format is the Effectiveness Criteria section of certain
procedures.

When determining these criteria, a holistic approach as to what is best for the company should be
used. An obvious example involves Purchasing. In the past, Purchasing effectiveness was
measured by the purchase price of materials. The obvious fallacy with this measure is that out of
specification or marginal components result in increase costs downstream and may actually
result in higher total costs.

A Work Instruction is the most detailed description of a task. It’s sole purpose is to explain step
by step how to do a specific task. You are probably dealing with a Work Instruction when the job
has fewer than 10 separate actions, the job is performed by 1 person from start to finish, the task
is completed in a short amount of time from start to finish.
Work instructions should be very detailed on “how” to accomplish a specific job, task or
assignment.

For example, a work procedure could be developed for assembling the final housing of a product
with step-by-step instructions including such detail as the torque requirements of the fastening
screws.

Individual work instructions are very specific to an industry or company. Supplemental


documentation may be used including User’s Manuals, Engineering or Technical Manuals,
Technical Support notes, Manufacturing Notes, etc., in order to create detailed work instructions.

6. Define job Specification


Job specification is another aspect of job analysis. It describes the type of employee required (in
terms of skill, experience, and special attitude, and test scores of various types) and outlines the
particular working conditions that are encountered on the job.

It is essentially a set of specification about people required on the job. The job specification (in
the usual form) includes a brief job summary designed to give the recruiter a feel of the job and
to set the stage for greater detail.

According to Dale Yoder, “The job specification, as such a summary properly described is thus,
a specialized job description, emphasising personnel requirement and designed especially to
facilitate selection and placement.”

Job specifications are used when a company advertises in mass media for hunting talents, recruit-
ment, and selection. Job specifications are different from job description.

While a person focuses on job specifications, the organization is responsible for developing and
documenting job descriptions. The various elements of job specifications are physical
specifications, mental specifications, behavioural specifications, and personal specifications.

Job Specification – What is Job Specification?

Job specification is another aspect of job analysis. It describes the type of employee required (in
terms of skill, experience, and special attitude, and test scores of various types) and outlines the
particular working conditions that are encountered on the job. It is essentially a set of
specification about people required on the job. The job specification (in the usual form) includes
a brief job summary designed to give the recruiter a feel of the job and to set the stage for greater
detail.

Job specifications translate the job description into terms of the human qualifications which are
required for the successful performance of the job. Job specifications serve as a guide in hiring.
They deal with such characteristics as are available in the application bank, with testing,
interviews and checking of references. Thus, it is the statement of the minimum acceptable
human qualities required for the proper performance of the job.

It is a standard for personnel and specifies the qualities required for acceptable performance.
Therefore, it is a written record of the requirements sought in an individual worker for a given
job. In other words, a job specification is a summary of the personal characteristics required for a
job.
Following this summary, job specification indicates in detail the definite qualities required of the
job holder. It may stipulate a specified period of experience in a particular job. It may state
physical requirements, such as height, weight, special strength, and others. It may identify the
tests to be taken and required scores. It may specify the general and special educational
requirements.
