Some of the people we've built with

  • Line 2 changeover SOP, rev. 3Beside the check on the operator's screen
  • Checked by J. Ortiz 07:02Start-up check, Line 2, form v4

A new operator isn't sure about the changeover. The SOP is in a binder two buildings away, so they ask whoever is closest.

Put the check and the procedure on one screen.

Old way

a paper checklist filled in from memory at the end of the shift, with the procedure in a binder.

New way

the checklist is a form on the operator's screen, with the procedure beside the check.

  • Ask in plain words and get the answer from your own documents, with the page cited.
