9 Management of Jobs with job groups and jobs 
The definition which product (family) is produced is done by a job group. This defines which equipment, production dataset and materials are used and which configuration parameters (e.g. width, length of foil) are offered. The concrete products (roll of film with defined width and length) are models as jobs inside this group.
NOTE: Examples for different combinations of jobs are presented in the Annex.
