Job Card Template

A simple job card for controlling a piece of production work - the operator, date and product description, any special inspection requirements, the item serial or batch, the work completed and whether it was inspected, with a final inspection sign-off. A light-touch card for jobs that do not need the full fabrication sheet.

A quality management system aligned with ISO 9001 (clause 8.5) expects production to be carried out under controlled conditions and shown to be checked. This job card gives each job a clear, traceable record without unnecessary fields.

Built for ISO 9001 Production Control

The card captures what a controlled job needs:

• The operator and date
• The product description and any special inspection requirements
• The item serial or batch number
• The work completed and whether it was inspected
• A final inspection sign-off

What's Included in this Job Card

The form is set out as a single job card:

• Job header - operator, date and product description
• Requirements - any special inspection or other requirements
• Work record - item serial or batch, work completed and inspection
• Defects and final inspection - defects and repairs, and a final inspection sign-off with date

Who Needs a Job Card?

Any manufacturer or workshop that needs a simple, controlled record for a job without the detail of a full fabrication card. It suits small and medium businesses working to ISO 9001.

Pairs with the Route Card

Where a job runs through several process steps with checks along the way, the F-Q61 Route Card adds pre-start, in-process and final checks to the job.
