Map the current process
Sketch the existing production steps and note where products are transferred, inspected or stored.
Identify the interfaces
Record mechanical connections, control signals, operator tasks and access requirements between machines.
Describe the expected result
Separate the current bottleneck from the result you want. Include product changes and operating constraints.
Bring the right materials
Line drawings, photos and equipment information help make the discussion more precise. Confirm scope and performance requirements before approving the final design.
