Bracket correction allowance with no first released dimension

He based it on what he remembers from that product family. It includes waiting for inspection, though he couldn't split the two parts of the allowance.

Then don't label it straightening time. Half the job may be standing around.

Does the recorded correction identify what was changed on this bracket? I mean the actual entry, not the supervisor's recollection of the usual job.

Worth checking that. In one file I reviewed, the supposed correction was planned machining already costed elsewhere. The word correction was added in a later summary. Yours may really be straightening, but the original operation description matters

Reece, it names straightening of the upright, signed by fabrication. Harish, no planned machining hidden in this one. The missing first released reading still prevents a measured before-and-after comparison.

Keep that limit. A signed operation isn't its missing measurement.

And use one defined inspection method throughout.

Include the restrained and released states as different observations. A model holding the bracket at nominal geometry should not be treated as a prediction of its released condition.

Quality selected an ordinary current batch, not only failures. We are recording incoming fit-up, fixture identity, first released check, any correction and final check against each bracket. Active work and waiting have separate entries.

Will that include the correction person's other work, or assume they're always waiting for this bracket?

Other work is included. The first observation followed six brackets: four passed at first release, two needed straightening and reinspection. Waiting for the shared inspector took longer than the active correction on those two.

Useful. The queue finally made it onto the sheet.

We've removed the old measured-saving claim. The estimator has this six-bracket observation and its scope, plus the supervisor's separately labelled wider estimate. We aren't extrapolating six parts into a guarantee for the FR5 fixture.

Thank you for separating those bases; can the covering planner find the observation and the estimate without having to ask you which number is which?
