What a shift handover should say about open defects
An open item needs a next step. The incoming person repeats it, then signs. Closed items do not need a long handover.
A shift handover states the defects that are still open: the name, which metre they reached, which step has already been done, and what the next step is. Saying only “there is a streak” is not a handover. The incoming person repeats it, then signs.
Why it is judged this way
The day shift washed the doctor blade and the night shift does not know, so they wash it again, or they think it is already fixed. The board keeps only the items that are not finished. Finished ones are crossed off, so the board does not become a wall nobody reads.
What to compare
| What you see | What to call it | What not to do |
|---|---|---|
| Name, metres, and the next step are written | The shift can be taken over | Only say there is roughly a problem |
| The incoming person does not repeat it | It has not been handed over | Glance at the board |
| The board is full of old closed items | Clear them | Keep adding underneath |
At job change or when a roll is opened
- Before leaving, keep only the open items.
- Each item has a next step.
- The incoming person repeats them and signs.
