Task Sheets, Operation Sheets and Job Sheets

The task sheet is a set of instructions telling the trainee to perform a single task. An operation sheet is a set of instructions for the operation or use of a particular machine or equipment.

A Job Sheet is a set of instructions for the performance of a Job. A   job is a combination of tasks and/or operations needed in to develop  a  product or performance of a service or a combination of both.

Example:

Cleaning a check-out room is a Job. Tasks such as dusting, bed making, bathroom cleaning and floor cleaning are tasks involved in the Job. Operation of vacuum cleaner and floor polisher will be a must when doing such a Job.

Task Sheets maybe developed to practice accessing the room, dusting, bed making, bathroom cleaning and floor cleaning.

Operation Sheets for the use and operation of a vacuum cleaner and floor polishers can be developed.

A Job sheet on cleaning a check-out room consolidates the tasks and operations needed for the Job.
