Slur on a pharma label

The note is for the next shift

Writing only "there is slur" is useless. The dot stretches in one direction only. You also need the location. If a pharma label hits the batch number, the expiry date or a barcode, the note has to say whether you stopped or passed it.

What to write down

Item What it's for If you leave it out
Record which color, the impression and the speed. Match it to the roller, the blade or the material Next time you guess from scratch
Metre count or sheet number Find this spot again The complaint won't match
Whether it hit the batch number, the expiry date or a barcode Decide whether to pass or stop You only keep a nice picture

Hand this to the next shift

  1. Record which color, the impression and the speed.
  2. Write whether it landed on the batch number, the expiry date or a barcode.
  3. Use the name on the name list. Don't invent another word.
