Take a fault from the floor without making the member a technician

12. 10. 2021 · 1 min čtení

The report should capture what the person saw. It should not ask them to diagnose the motor.

Members and trainers are good at “it stopped”, “it smells hot”, “the pin will not go in”, and “it feels wrong under load”. They are not there to name the failed bearing.

The report needs the machine, a few words, and a photo if the fault is visible. Priority can be simple: cannot use, can use but wrong, or unsafe. Unsafe should be allowed to take the machine out of service.

Do not ask for a theory

A form that demands a cause will be filled with guesses, or left blank. Guesses become the history. Blank forms do not get submitted. Ask what happened, when they noticed, and whether anyone could still use it.

If the same person reports three machines in a minute, that can be real. It can also be one problem described three ways. Read them before you open three jobs.

Thanking the report is optional. Attaching it to the right asset is not.
