Labour Demo Manufacturing and testing — the only two buckets a job is quoted in
ISO 9001 · LRQA Sun 9 Aug 2026
Labour

Hours book to Manufacturing or Testing and nothing else. There are no work centres to route a job through and nothing to scan on and off during the day — the fabricator books manufacturing, whoever runs the test books testing at the end. Rework, maintenance, training, housekeeping and leave sit outside the quote altogether, which is what makes the direct against indirect split mean anything.

Rework sits in its own column because it is charged to neither bucket. It is what quality is costing on that job, not padding on the quote.
