Ausführblätter

English translation: Process Routing sheets/Route sheets

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Ausführblätter
English translation:Process Routing sheets/Route sheets
Entered by: David Bullock

Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Equipment used for unders
German term or phrase: Ausführblätter
Here is the context:

Produktionsunterlagen
Die Disposition stellt den Produktionsleitern Zeichnungen, Ausführblätter und die Fertigungsplanung bereit.

This does not have anything to do with export and so "Ausführblätter" is a little confusing. The original document is describing company internal administrative processes and this part is dealing with the production documentation.
The origin of the text is Swiss, so this might be a term used in Switzerland. The context indicates to me that it could mean "implementation sheets".

Does anyone have an idea?

Process Routing sheets/Route sheets
Explanation:
In a manufacturing or production unit routing defines the exact process by which a product is to be manufactured. And a route sheet is the map or the blueprint of the manufacturing process in a production unit.

"Ausführen" implies a process, therefore the "Ausführblätter" do most likely illustrate or describe the consecutive steps of the process, I would think.

I think this relates to manufacturing and not contruction. While "construction" can of course relate to building all sorts of things, if we are talking mass production here I don't think it fits. A spec sheet usually contains data describing the end product not the manufacturing process. Here are some references for the term route sheets.
