Having a past working in mfg - computer, disk drive stuff - had to interface with tech writers, wasn't a job I would want, detailed orientated and having to deal with pia people like myself.Hi DT,
It is the responsibility of the Truck Engineering Vehicle Engineering Head that is to blame. He/She must review, make changes and send the changes back to Helm who is pulls together the draft and sends it to Ford. The first draft is just a hodge pouge of and old manual and added pages of what Helm thinks the new manual for the new vehicle needs to be included. There are several iterations back and forth before Vehicle Engineering signs off and this is very late in the program and gets put on the back burner as the vehicle heads toward Job #1. It is a busy time to have to spend the time to get it right.
BTW, I also failed to a degree and missed some minor stuff as it is not easy to remember every detail and system info for the customer. Problem is the time crunch at the 11th hour....
Best,
Phil
