In the aviation industry, job cards serve as the basis for all of the activities in production. They are used to define and document work on aircraft, components, engines, and landing gear. In order to comply with the stringent traceability requirements and to simplify the entire documentation process, Lufthansa Technik developed its own XML-based CMS. Its system allows users to work on the job cards efficiently and completely digitally. The XML editor Xeditor is used for creating and editing the job cards.
