Routing (Product/Service)

  Production routings, routings and or service routings is information that specifies the steps or methods that are used to manufacture a product or complete a service. 

The routing can be compared to a list of tasks (routing tasks) required to produce a product or complete a service.  Routings specify:

• Operations that need to be performed.
• The sequence the operations are to be performed in.
• What work centers are involved at each operation.
• Any standards that may be associated with setting up the operation and running it. 

Many companies will also include information such as:

• Operator skills required to complete each operation within the routing.
• Tools that may be needed at an operation.
• Inspection points.
• Any types of testing or first article requirements. 

In information flow the routing is very similar.  The difference is that the routing or simply specifies the route or path that the information will travel to reach an assigned destination. 

Example:
​  The routing on a form may be; Step 1, fuser fills out the form.  Step 2, the user submits the form and step three the information is “routed” to the appropriate inbox.  Routings can be used on more than one product or service.
