Hello,
The abovementioned term is located in the table of contents of a corporate memo. I am having a problem recalling the proper translation in English. I seem to remember the term "Job Aid", but somehow I think there must be a better phrase.
Any suggestions?

Process description
Depending on context, process description would be my bet.
