    Show members the name and the status, nothing else

    The public page is for the person standing at the machine. Cost, blame, and internal notes do not belong there.

    Hand the shift over on the register, not in the doorway

    A conversation at the door disappears. The open faults and the unfinished jobs do not, if they are written on the assets.

    Decide who may take a machine out of service

    If only the manager may close a machine, the unsafe one stays open until the manager is back from lunch.

    Close the floor with the jobs, not with a feeling

    The last walk should leave a clear list: still out of service, waiting on a part, or safe to open in the morning.

    Walk the floor before the first members arrive

    The opening walk is a short list: what is out of service, what was left unfinished, and what looks newly wrong.

    Move a machine without starting a new history

    A new corner is not a new asset. The faults, the jobs, and the warranty move with the frame.

    Make every status mean one thing

    If “out of order” sometimes means dirty and sometimes means unsafe, the floor will stop trusting the sign.

    Keep the manual and the invoice next to the machine

    A document that lives only in someone’s inbox is missing the moment that person is off shift.

    Take photos you can still use in six months

    A dark close-up of a bolt is not a record. The useful set shows the machine, the place, and the thing that is wrong.

    What to do when the serial plate is gone

    A missing plate does not make the machine unidentifiable. It means you need another mark, and a note that the plate is missing.

    The file a machine needs before anyone reports a fault

    Category, name, place, and status are enough to start. The rest can arrive with the first real job.

    Draw zones a person can walk

    Floors, rooms, and zones are how someone finds a machine without calling the person who installed it.

    Name every machine so the next shift can find it

    A nickname that only one trainer understands is not an asset name. The floor needs a name that survives a handover.
