The office·Knowledge at the machine·The question at the machine

What's the torque on this? Ask the documents, not the day shift.

On the call, we would ask

  • What does the second shift ask that the first shift knows?
  • Where do the answers live: manuals, instructions, the quality system, one person?
  • How long does an operator wait for an answer today, and what stops while they wait?
  • Which questions must never be answered by a tool?
