Can I compare released brackets when the old fixture version is missing?

Only a shift note saying stop moved; the inspection sheets have bracket numbers but no fixture version.

Talk to the person who moved it. They may explain what changed even if you cannot recover which bracket used it. Keep those two answers separate on your comparison.

Henry, that's worth checking before anybody works out a percentage from the folder. I was thinking about identifying the fixture, hadn't considered which brackets made it into the photographs.

Yes, Henry, mostly awkward ones; the operator also remembers moving the stop but cannot link that change to particular bracket numbers.

Then a fresh observed set is more useful than another week guessing the old order. Define the incoming fit-up, current fixture arrangement and released check with fabrication and quality. Follow every bracket in that set, not just the ones somebody wants to photograph.

Yes. My own folder has that same selection problem. Very informative failures, very poor denominator.

Include any correction before the final pass, or the awkward work disappears again.

We've followed a small complete batch with quality and fabrication: fixed fixture identification, incoming checks, released measurements, then separate correction entries where needed. The estimator now sees that work instead of only final passes. The old photos remain examples, not our rate calculation.

And Kai, the correction entries name the operation and person doing it; thanks, that was the missing handoff on our first draft.
