Job aiding apparatus

A display unit of a job aiding apparatus disposed in each of work stations displays a job aid image for showing a job detail in each of the work stations. The worker in each of the work stations performs the job according to the displayed job detail. The job aiding apparatus decides whether a job result falls within a predetermined range or not, and changes the job aid image to a next job aid image only when the job result falls within the predetermined range. The worker can thus perform the job accurately and efficiently.

After outer panels have been assembled on a vehicle frame, they are coated with an aqueous lustering agent P, and then irradiated with a light beam L. Light reflected by the outer panels is processed to produce a degree and range of distortion thereof. Based on the produced degree and range of distortion, it is determined whether the outer panels suffer a surface distortion or not. The determined result is displayed on a display monitor. According to the displayed image, the outer panels are repaired and thereafter coated with a paint.
