Work Instruction Revision Agent

All work instructions affected by a change are revised, reviewed and ready to release

Work Instruction Revision Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Every engineering change, new tool or corrective action can make a work instruction wrong, and operators following an old value can build bad parts. When a change notice is approved, this agent searches all work instructions for any reference to the affected parts, tools, values or steps, including every product variant that shares an instruction. It drafts the revised steps and values for each one. Torque, temperature and dimension values must match the notice exactly, and safety-related steps are flagged for extra review. It then checks that every changed item in the notice appears in the drafts. If something is missing, it lists it and updates the affected drafts. It builds redlines and an operator training note, and checks that each redline shows only the intended changes. The engineer approves before the new revision replaces the old one.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags an instruction when it references any part, tool, value or step named in the change and treats the draft as complete only when every changed item appears in it.

  • Include every variant that shares the instruction
  • Torque, temperature and dimension values must match the notice exactly
  • Flag safety-related steps for extra review

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Document system to search
  • Which change types trigger it
  • Redline style
  • Who signs off safety steps

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Releasing a revised work instruction

Hard limits

  • Never publishes to the floor without approval
  • Never deletes the prior revision

It stops when

  • Done: all affected instructions revised and approved
  • Stop: change notice is unclear on a value; ask the change owner

An example run

What happensChange notice 2291 raised a fastener torque from 12 to 14 Nm on two pump models. The agent found five instructions. The coverage check failed: the first draft missed the torque on a variant sheet for the stainless model. It added it and rechecked, and all five drafts passed. The redline check found no unintended edits. The engineer approved the redlines and training note.
