6. Are visual checklists or guides available at the machine to support operator maintenance tasks?
Clauses:
Operators have easy access to instructions at the point of use.
Recommendations:
Use visual work instructions, tags, or laminated checklists near equipment.
|
|
|
|
7. Are deviations from standard operator care practices identified and corrected?
Clauses:
Non-compliance with AM standards is addressed consistently.
Recommendations:
Supervisors should regularly observe and coach operators on correct practices.
|
|
