Our bracket cycle time leaves out the correction bench

I'm planning an FR10 bracket job from old records. They show acceptable alignment in the fixture, failed dimensions after release and a correction step with no duration. The proposed cycle time leaves that work out.

Ask who owns that correction before accepting the cycle estimate. The robot can't save time on a step nobody has described yet.

The welding lead remembers a separate bench operation, but not whether every bracket needed it. We're looking for the travellers rather than assuming it was routine.

Any individual part IDs on those records? A batch note may hide whether one or all needed work.

Keep the before and after readings together if you find them. We lost sample links by renaming folders, and suddenly a very tidy record said very little.

And keep the fixture revision with the readings.

Found individual IDs on final inspection, but the correction note is batch-level. I can't attach a duration or correction to every item from what we have.

Then show it as missing process work in the estimate. Don't average an unknown into a reassuring number.

The proposal now includes a process review before committing to the cycle figure. We still need to establish why the released brackets failed and what the bench work changed.

Did anyone locate the bench tooling? Been following a similar search elsewhere; that might jog someone's memory better than the word corrected.
