work order

Maintenance request form

A work order is a formal document authorizing and describing a specific task or job to be performed.

In maintenance, construction, and manufacturing, work orders specify what needs to be done, who should do it, and what materials are required: The technician received a work order to replace the HVAC unit.

They create accountability and tracking for labor and costs.
