Gold Order Handoff Checklist

Prevent avoidable production mistakes when a gold jewellery order moves from sales into the workshop. Review the customer-approved specification, commercial status, physical requirements, materials, timing and quality information before treating the order as production-ready.

Why Sales-to-Workshop Handoffs Fail

The customer may know what they ordered while the workshop still lacks a confirmed purity, target weight, approved design, delivery date or material requirement. A handoff is therefore a separate operational step, not just an administrative message that the order exists.

A strong handoff should allow the production team to understand what must be made, from which material, according to which approved requirements, by when and under what quality expectations.

What This Checklist Checks

The checklist covers customer approval, commercial readiness, specifications, material planning, production instructions, timing and quality control. Each control can be marked complete, partial or missing, allowing the result to distinguish a mostly complete order from one that still has a critical information gap.

The readiness percentage is an operational score created from the checklist selections. It is not a manufacturing risk probability and should not replace technical review by a qualified workshop professional.

Common Gold Order Handoff Problems

Approved design but unclear production specifications

A visual reference alone may not contain dimensions, purity, approximate weight or construction requirements. The workshop should have the information needed for the actual job.

Payment status is unclear

The production team should know whether the commercial conditions required before production have been satisfied according to the business's own policy.

Deadline without production feasibility review

A requested customer date is not necessarily a confirmed production date. Timing should be reviewed against material availability, workshop workload and any external dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an order handoff?

It is the controlled transfer of an approved customer order from one business function, typically sales or customer service, into production or another fulfillment process.

Does 100% mean the order is guaranteed to succeed?

No. It means every listed checklist item has been marked complete. Production can still encounter technical or material issues.

Why allow a partial status?

Some information may be known but not fully finalized. Marking it partial is more informative than pretending it is either fully ready or completely missing.

Can I use this for repair work?

The checklist is designed primarily for production orders. A dedicated repair job card is generally more appropriate for repair-specific work.
