I just wrote up some work instructions for a project to make 50 rug
weaving frames for my wife. She's going to put on 2 classes in making
these 23" X 42" rugs this summer at our biannual national blacksmith
conference in Rapid City, SD.

Anyway, I am wracking my brain trying to remember what we called "work
instructions" at 3M company, primarily for hardgoods mfg, years ago.


Nobody follows instructions. Call them Directives and they'll be
mandatory.


They still won't get followed.

Make them into training videos, and at least they'll get played in the
presence of the folks who are supposed to watch them.
