Which bracket readings belong before the straightening step?

Explicit on the traveller: straightened, then inspected. Clamped sheet has only the batch number.

Which drawing revision was used for each check? Matching the batch number alone will not establish that the two sheets measured the same requirement.

And don't assume the jig check predicts the loose part. A clamp can make a very convincing inspection aid while hiding the thing you need to measure. Which faces were they checking from?

Does the old traveller identify which brackets were straightened, or was it a general instruction for the whole batch?

Bracket revision D on both sheets. Different reference faces. Traveller says whole batch corrected; no individual part IDs.

Who has costed that correction in the new proposal? The old traveller seems fairly clear that somebody did work there, even if nobody has measured what arrived at their bench.

I'd bring quality and welding together for a current-part trial, with tooling explaining the intended location. The old paperwork can guide the questions, but I'd be uncomfortable using it to approve a copied correction routine

And leave the bench space undecided until somebody knows whether its job survives.

Proposal assumes correction disappears. I've asked planning to reopen that line, not price it as zero.

Who owns the next measurement plan?

Include the person who did the correction. They may recognise the awkward samples.

We once found that an old 'hold square' note described fit-up before welding, not an accepted finished angle, so I would have the former operator explain the sequence with the actual sheets rather than rely on those short labels.

I'm wary of building the new fixture meeting around the press step. First ask what the current part drawing needs. Otherwise the correction starts dictating new clamps before anyone has understood the distortion.

The operator isn't being asked to design the fixture. They're being asked what happened. You need that answer as well as the current drawing.

Sarah, did you find actual released readings on yours after that? My folder has plenty of descriptions and very little I can pair to a real bracket.

Not in the sheets behind that note; identifying it as fit-up stopped us treating it as a final measurement, but it did not fill the missing released-part data.

Quality owns the trial plan, welding and tooling contributing. Former operator invited. Thanks, Caleb, I'd left them off.

Will planning get the trial findings as well as the fixture designer? I'd like the labour and space decision to catch up with whatever the measurements say, not remain at the original optimistic version.
