The term "job
file" is an old one going back many years to the days of Tel-time.
I am not sure but I don't think the other system has a similar job file
system. I certainly haven't seen it in operation so if it has it can't
be well regarded.
The term method file
is probably to be preferred but these days we seem to be talking about
process maps (flow charts).
But a process map
is not a method - it is a process and has decisions,branches and redundancies
that that just do not translate directly into a method or job file. Ask
any engineer who has been given a process map and told to study it - it
just does not produce a good method and you need an understanding of the
method to do an accurate study. So please, leave the Process Maps on the
wall!
So, for the future
the TDX Analysis will have a process book which will hold enough information
to generate full blow Process Maps but at the same time will produce a
a subset of the Process; the proper job file that the engineer can follow.
JobPad will remain in some form to be a scratch pad and quickie method/job
generator.
