An apparatus for monitoring the assembling, testing, and inspection of a product is provided comprising a plurality of kits, wherein each kit contains a plurality of parts to be assembled together to form a product. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of cue cards with each card having a status indicator corresponding to the assembly progress of a particular kit. A display device is further provided to visually display the plurality of cue cards. The status indicator of each cue card can indicate to load the parts into the kits, that the parts are ready to be assembled, that the parts are being assembled, and that the parts in the kit are assembled. A movable indicator, such as a pin, is movable between the status positions to visually indicate the same. The cue card further includes a priority level indicator that corresponds to the priority level of a particular kit. The priority level indicator can include a pin slidable within a slot in the cue card positionable within five different positions which correspond to a high priority (first position) to a low priority (fifth position). The cue card further includes a visual work indicator, for example, a colored strip of material. This indicator can indicate that the kit is overdue or the kit is ready to begin assembly. The cue card further includes a piece part and assembly number and a description of the same.
