Atama dashi

[Mary Kennard]

Hi all

I' wondering about the term atama dashi (頭出し). The only definition I can find is cuing, as in a tape, and that doesn't fit the context, which is:

業務フローに基づき予定通りの頭出しを達成

Just from the image, I wonder if it could also mean something like a trial run, or testing the waters.

Any input would be welcome.

Thanks,
Mary Kennard

Hi,

If it is a specialised term associated with some new technology, its
intended meaning might not be noted in dictionaries yet.

>業務フローに基づき

If this is a commercial product, you may need to do research the topic
as a whole (dreadful as it appears).

In the interim, it could refer to:
Chapters in a DVD, tracks in a CD/cassette

It's hard to say definitively what meaning makes sense given this
limited context, but here are some possibilities.

If you read 頭出し as 頭出ししたもの, it can refer to a separate item
included in plan, budget, agenda or similar document, and if that item
is something to be achieved, 'objective' could be a possible translation.

If you read 頭出し as 頭出しすること, it can refer to the process of
including items in a plan, etc., or determining what such items should be.

If the 業務フロー entails a technical process involving a sunken or
embedded element, 頭出し can refer to the process of 'exposing the head'
of such an element.

As an extremely remote possibility, if this is talking about a stable's
plan to put a specific number of horses in a race, 予定通りの頭出しcould
be rendered as 'putting the planned number of horses in the race".

A possible rendering would be:
"A head start was achieved as scheduled based on the work flow."

Have you considered the possibility that this
頭出し is simply a metaphor? In playing a recording,
頭出し means getting everything ready so that things
start as you want them to start, just by pressing
the PLAY button. So here 頭出し could mean getting
everything "cued up" so that the the project can
begin at a moment's notice. If this idea is right,
頭出し = setup, getting everything ready (for the
launch), making sure all the preliminary preparations
have been made.

頭だし

読み方：あたまだし

頭出し とも書く

（名詞） cueing (e.g. a magnetic tape, recording) (cuing); cue; feeding (e.g. paper under a print head); feed; document loading

See:  http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E9%A0%AD%E3%81%A0%E3%81%97

 

 

I wonder if the sentence in question means: “The first step according to the project flowchart has been successfully accomplished.”

"頭出し" could mean "立ち上げ" (start, kick-off, initiation, etc.).

Hi Brian,

Glad to see you participating.

It may not be my duty to instruct you on honyaku protocol,
but I think it is customary to include at least your name at the end of a post
.
