The office·Maintenance and work orders·The knowledge in the tech's head

When the senior tech retires, the machines lose their memory.

On the call, we would ask

  • Who knows the machines best, and how long until they retire?
  • What is written on a closed work order today: fixed, or what was actually done?
  • How would a new tech learn the tricks of the old press?
  • What would it be worth to have the last ten years of fixes searchable?
