When did the bands first appear, Gabriel? Before loading, after gripping, or only once the sleeve reached the receiving tray? Those are different bits of the job, even if the supplier sells the same soft pads for all three stories.
Are our FR5 sleeve marks new, and do they actually fail inspection?

Only photographed at the end. Incoming sleeves were not individually checked. Quality is defining the appearance method.
23 pointsStart with identified sleeves and comparable views under that method. Keep their physical orientation recognisable too. A rotated cylinder can put a reflection where the next person thinks a new band appeared.
25 pointsCan the person loading show you the sleeve before it touches the guide? I've seen a loading contact blamed on the gripper because nobody looked until after the lift.
9 pointsAnd don't turn every visible band into a reject before quality decides; the lesson should distinguish a new mark from an unacceptable one.
19 pointsHave the normal inspector and the covering person try the agreed method on the same references. I don't mean ask them to vote on the drawing requirement, just see whether the written viewing arrangement gives them the same useful information.
23 pointsOur stores once issued two pad sets under the same short description after a drawing change. Before comparing anything, note which actual contacts are fitted and which proposed set the supplier means. A bag called soft spare is no help when someone has to repeat the trial later.
11 pointsI'd hold the pad order until Gabriel knows where the mark starts; otherwise every shiny surface problem becomes another spare to keep track of.
3 pointsDoes the current tool have an identified replacement contact set in the maintenance list?
10 pointsYes, Naomi, and Jess, fitted contacts match that reference. Quality's comparison found a new unacceptable line immediately after manual loading against the guide, before the grip closes.
13 pointsHave tooling examine that guide contact, since the new line already exists before any proposed pad could prevent it.
20 pointsKeep the accepted incoming sleeve and its marked after-loading view together in the handover example. It gives the operator a concrete reason for the guide check, rather than another instruction saying handle carefully.
22 pointsWould you still compare the soft pads later, Gabriel, or is there no separate grip mark left to answer? I'm not arguing for buying them just because they were offered.
20 pointsJack, I'd keep the proposal available but unselected. Gabriel can stop a needless order without deciding that the present pads are perfect for every condition forever.
18 pointsTooling found a damaged edge on the loading guide and repaired it to its drawing. Existing pads retained for the agreed full handling comparison. Soft-pad purchase paused.
11 pointsDid the full comparison stay clean through the receiving release too?
17 pointsYes. Identified sleeves passed quality's before-and-after method through normal loading, grip and receiving release. Cover repeated the loading check. Guide repair closed this marking issue; no pad change needed. Thanks, Anita.
17 pointsThat gives the next operator something specific to watch. Has the repaired guide's inspection point also reached the maintenance handover, rather than living only in the appearance report?
