Register one physical piece once, using its exact material and measured usable length. Have the material identity, condition, batch if applicable and destination arrangement ready before you start. Work at the station whose site and units match the object in front of you.
Check the proposed registration
Choose Register. Scan the material code or select the material. Enter Measured usable length (one contiguous length) and Measurement uncertainty (±). Record the observed condition and exact batch rather than inferring them from nearby stock. Uncertainty must be smaller than the measured length.
Choose Check the keep decision. Read the reason, guaranteed length, keep threshold and rack. A keep decision means the piece can continue towards stock. Quarantine and disposal review require their own subsequent handling. If the material or measurement is wrong, correct the entry before recording anything.
Record and label the object
Choose Register piece once the facts are right. The result records the piece and its label. A kept piece is not offered for use until put-away is confirmed. Keep the new reference with the physical object while obtaining and attaching its current label.
Do not register the same object again merely because a label was damaged or a response was lost. Resolve the pending command or ask a supervisor about controlled label replacement. Duplicate registration creates competing identities for one piece.
Confirm the real bin
Open Put away and scan the current piece label, then the bin card. A location-bound station uses its fixed bin. Check the visible facts and confirm the object is physically there before choosing Confirm put-away. If you choose another permitted bin, read the resulting action carefully and put the object in that actual location.
Check that the waiting put-away work has cleared as expected. If the label is stale, the bin is unsuitable or the physical stock differs from its record, stop and involve a supervisor. Continue with Find a piece that fits only after the stored location is confirmed.
Worked handover: from one bar to its kept child
This is an illustrative calculation and handover, not a reported cut or physical equipment qualification. Suppose Brighouse works has an approved material and released policy permitting the intended job, a keep threshold of 250 mm and a suitable rack. Its approved measurement practice allows 0.5 mm per blank, 1 mm total recorded loss uncertainty and a maximum cumulative budget of 5 mm. These values are assumptions for this case, not recommended engineering settings.
Sam Ashworth, acting as Operator, registers one contiguous usable bar at 1,115 mm with uncertainty ±1 mm and its actual unmarked condition. Its guaranteed length is 1,114 mm. After attaching the current piece label, he scans it and the permitted bin card and confirms actual put-away. A label being created is not that physical confirmation.
The job needs two finished lengths of 400 mm, each with 2 mm allowance, two separating cuts at 3 mm kerf, 5 mm total trim and a 2 mm fit buffer. The as-cut blank length is 402 mm. The fit requirement is 2 × 402 + 2 × 3 + 5 + 2 = 817 mm. On these assumptions the guaranteed source has 297 mm spare against that requirement. Searching holds no stock; Sam reserves the exact piece, then checks it out at his permitted station under his own identity. The checkout freezes its plan.
Suppose the actual cut later produces two conforming 402 mm blanks, with two 3 mm cuts, 5 mm trim, no other discarded length and one measured child of 300 mm at ±1 mm. The recorded balance is 1,115 − (804 + 6 + 5 + 300) = 0 mm. The cumulative uncertainty budget is 1 + 2 × 0.5 + 1 + 1 = 4 mm, within the assumed 5 mm practice maximum. This is a complete planned output if the other current checks pass. The 300 mm child is longer than the earlier 297 mm fit spare because that spare also allowed the source's 1 mm uncertainty and the 2 mm planning buffer. Do not adjust observed measurements to force that arithmetic.
With the assumed unchanged condition and released keep rules, the child's guaranteed 299 mm exceeds the 250 mm threshold. A kept child still waits for its own current label and confirmed put-away before it is available. Sam passes Priya Shah, another Operator, the child reference, actual location and outstanding put-away work. Priya confirms the object and current label at her permitted station before completing that work. A child reference or a printed label alone is insufficient evidence of where it is.
If an operation reply is lost, the acting person uses the original recorded command's Check again control before any replacement action. Fewer conforming blanks can be an honest partial result when balance and dimensions still pass. Changed blank length, extra blanks or an invalid balance follow the review path. Use Complete a cut and Exceptions, retaining the original operation rather than registering the bar again.
