Going to answer my own question...
install mrp_operations and document modules.
in settings > manufacturing > manufacturing order > planning, enable "Manage routings and work orders" and "Allow detailed planning of work order"
in settings > knowledge > enable "Manage documents"
Create a Work Center. You can attach files (such as a procedure video) to a Work Center
Create a Routing and add Work Center Operations. These are your procedures.
Add a Routing to a BOM
When you make a Manufacturing Work Order, it will use your BOM, its Routing, and its Work Center Operations. A user can view the procedure instructions via the Work Center. OpenERP will track who performed which Work Center Operation via mrp_production_workcenter_line.write_uid , assuming that worker is logged in.
Just need to show who the actual user name now.
