01
Mapping order to delivery
- Every step from enquiry to handover, written down
- Where jobs wait, and why waiting is the real cost
- Identifying the constraint instead of optimising everything

Production Workflow
Machines do not fix a floor that is out of order.
The whole chain from enquiry to installed kitchen: measurement, job preparation, floor layout, part sorting, assembly, quality gates, delivery and the numbers that tell you where the real bottleneck is.

Who it is for
- Owners and supervisors organising a workshop
- Teams where parts go missing between stations
- Anyone planning a move to a larger space
- Some production experience, at any scale
- Useful to bring a real recent job to work through
What you will be able to do
- Map your own order-to-delivery chain and find the bottleneck
- Prepare and sequence jobs so the floor is never waiting
- Lay out a workshop for flow rather than for storage
- Put quality gates where they catch errors cheaply
- Track lead time, output and rework with numbers you actually collect
Syllabus
10 modules.
Draft course outline for confirmation. Module order and depth to be finalised with the training team.
02
Site measurement and the design brief
- A measurement checklist that prevents remakes
- Services, tolerances and out-of-square walls
- Recording customer decisions so they are not disputed later
- The approval step before anything is cut
03
Job preparation
- Checking a production file before releasing it
- Batching across jobs, and when batching hurts delivery
- Staging material and hardware before the job starts
04
Floor layout and flow
- Laying out for material flow, not for equipment convenience
- Work in progress: how much is healthy
- Handling and trolleys
- Space for offcuts, finished parts and packing
05
Part identification and sorting
- Labelling that survives the whole process
- Sorting by cabinet, not by part type
- Trolley and staging systems
- Finding a missing part without stopping the floor
06
Assembly
- Assembly sequence and jigs
- Pre-drilling and hardware fitting
- Squaring and checking a carcass
- Protecting finished faces during assembly
07
Quality gates
- Inspecting after cutting, after banding and before packing
- Written acceptance criteria the team agrees on
- The rework loop: recording it, not hiding it
- Stopping a batch when something is systematically wrong
08
Packing, protection and delivery
- Protecting edges, faces and hardware in transit
- Loading order matched to installation order
- Delivery documentation and counting out
09
Installation and handover
- Installation checklist and manpower planning
- Site protection and making good
- Handover, snagging and defect response
10
Measuring the floor
- Lead time, output per day and on-time delivery
- Rework rate and material yield
- Collecting numbers without adding paperwork nobody completes
- Using the numbers to decide the next investment
