Does the green tick mean the bracket passed its final dimensions, or only that somebody finished the work on the card?
13 pointsFinal inspection, according to the inspector. But the failed reading before the press isn't on these cards. Only 'upright low'.
7 pointsCan the inspector still find the final readings, even if the earlier ones are gone?
11 pointsI had an export merge initial readings and rechecks into one column. The original traveller was much more useful than the spreadsheet everybody trusted. Have you checked whether these cards were copied from something else? A scan of the back can be worth more than another meeting.
13 pointsRosa, was that a software import problem or did somebody deliberately keep only the last reading?
11 pointsCards are originals. Inspector found final results in a separate book. They link by batch, not individual bracket. No magical missing column, unfortunately.
7 pointsLuca, the export collapsed them. Nobody had asked it to preserve the distinction, so it looked tidier than the job actually was. We kept the original readings and correction note together once we found them.
20 pointsIs the press work in the proposed cycle time? That green tick may be doing unpaid overtime.
2 pointsCould the old operator show which feature they corrected on a retained bracket? I would ask that before trying to infer the correction from the final measurements alone.
2 pointsI'd try that too, though I wouldn't ask them to recreate the pressing from memory just to explain it
22 pointsPress work is missing from the estimate, Oliver. Ada, there are retained brackets. Operator is available to point out the feature, not demonstrate a correction.
5 pointsA marked photo would help the software and planning people as well. 'Upright low' could be a height or an angle to someone who has never held the bracket.
14 pointsOperator pointed to the upright angle. They used the press after the bracket had cooled. Final book measures that angle from the mounting face, but the fixture check just says against stop.
5 pointsWas the same drawing revision used for the final book and the new proposal?
13 pointsRevision F in both. Found the reference on the book's cover. Fixture drawing is older and doesn't identify which bracket revision it was checked against.
2 pointsThat leaves a fixture comparison and a missing process cost. I'd keep both visible. Otherwise everyone solves the drawing question and forgets the press again.
16 pointsI would still use the final book to understand what they accepted. It cannot tell you the amount of correction, but throwing all the history away would lose a useful starting point.
15 pointsAgreed on keeping it, Ada, though mixed batches worry me if anyone starts calculating an average correction from those numbers
16 pointsNo correction average. Keeping the final acceptance history and operator's feature photo. New trial needs paired measurements. Planning has put the press work back as an unresolved cost.
16 pointsThanks for coming back with the costing bit. Usually that's where the thread goes quiet.
