Workshops or engineering laboratories are a crucial part of implementing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs because this is where practical activities are carried out to ensure that students are competent in performing specific tasks. However, several issues in workshop management within TVET institutions, such as record management, maintenance, and safety concerns, require improvement to optimize their use in TVET programs. This study systematically examines relevant documents and materials to determine and prioritize key elements and sub-elements essential for developing a workshop management system in TVET educational institutions, particularly in Malaysian Vocational Colleges. Findings from the document analysis through READ approach are categorized into five themes, serving as key elements management areas for tailoring the workshop management system: 1) asset and stock management, 2) safety management, 3) workshop environmental management, 4) workshop maintenance management, and 5) workshop documentation management. Additionally, 22 sub-elements are organized into suitable themes to guide the design of the workshop management system. By focusing on these specific elements, the study aims to provide administrators and educators with a guide for effective workshop management, outlining critical activities for implementation.
