A work order is a formal request to get something fixed. Most places have their own flavor or format of work orders, but they usually include nearly the same fields. Scroll down to download a free work order template that will suit most industries.

First, What is a Work Order?

A Work Order is the backbone of 'Getting Stuff Done'.

At its core, a work order is a formal request to get something fixed, maintained, or installed. Think of it as the paper or digital trail that takes your maintenance problems from "somebody should really fix that" to "somebody is actually fixing that."

Why Work Orders matter.

You might think, "Can't I just tell the maintenance guy when I see him in the break room?" Sure, if you want your request to disappear into the void of forgotten break room conversations.

Work orders create accountability. They ensure nothing falls through the cracks and give maintenance teams a way to prioritize tasks. They also create a history of repairs, which is very helpful when that same printer jams for the 5th time in a month, and someone finally asks, "Maybe we should just get a new one?"
