Our bracket acceptance sheet starts after the correction station

The traveller sends the whole batch to that station. No individual correction marks. Final sheet is drawing D, and it doesn't say whether every bracket needed work.

Ask the station operator what the route instruction meant in practice. Passing through a station may mean inspection with correction as needed, rather than correction on every part.

Is the old checking fixture still available?

Yes, Caleb. Its label says C. Current bracket drawing is D. I've asked inspection whether C is its own gauge revision or refers to the part drawing.

Worth asking. A letter on a gauge need not match the component revision, but its intended check does need to cover the relevant drawing requirement.

Did the operator explain the correction step? That would help planning avoid assuming either every bracket or no bracket needed it.

He checked every bracket and corrected some flange angles. No count retained. The good final sheet won't give us that missing labour figure, however long we stare at it.

Who owns that labour allowance while the current process is being established?

A current trial can record inspected and corrected quantities separately, alongside incoming fit-up and untouched released dimensions. That would give the estimator something usable without inventing the old rate.

Anika, production engineering owns the allowance. Will, fabrication and inspection are writing that trial. Tooling won't be approved on the old final sheet alone.

Any answer about the C label?

C is the gauge revision. Inspection confirmed it was checked against part drawing D. Its result is still after any correction, so that doesn't fill the earlier measurement gap.

That settles the label question. Will the new trial also capture the component revisions and their condition before fit-up? Otherwise it may compare a new assembly with the old route in name only.

Yes. Current component revisions are listed in the draft, with fit-up and released checks separate. No trial results yet. The correction station stays in our provisional floor plan.

Sensible place to leave it while there is still work to measure.
