What is another name for the shop ticket?

• A. Shop order
• B. cut list
• C. shop drawing
• D. job specifications list

Answer: (A)

In sheet metal work, the document that travels with a job into the shop and directs what needs to be produced, in what quantity, from which material, and what operations to perform, is called a shop order. It functions as the production instruction for the shop, guiding everything from material choices to workflow and sequencing. A cut list is specifically the list of pieces to be cut from stock, not the full set of manufacturing instructions. A shop drawing shows the detailed geometry and dimensions for fabrication, while a job specifications list outlines requirements and standards but doesn’t convey the complete shop workflow. So, the best term that matches the shop ticket is shop order.
