Start here: Supervisor

Review held cuts, missing pieces, disposal decisions and other people's unfinished work.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Supervisor

On this page

Start with Supervision to see the work needing a recorded decision. Your role also permits floor operations, but supervisory authority should be used to explain and resolve the actual exception, with the right evidence and physical checks.

Inspect before changing a record

Review held cuts, other people's open work and reservations, quarantined pieces, disposal review, missing pieces, incidents and rack checks. Open the relevant record and establish where the physical object is. A reason should identify what was checked and why the chosen action is justified.

Corrections can change length, uncertainty, condition or batch. They can supersede the label and require a check at the bin. Material reclassification is a quarantined-piece decision. Keep these actions distinct from an ordinary move, which has its own current label and put-away sequence.

Use your own authority

Taking over an operation is explicit. Do that before completing another person's work, rather than using their session. Label replacement, reclassification, takeover and releasing another person's reservation need a recent second-factor check. If asked, complete the check and return to the intended record.

A held cut can be resolved from a corrected source measurement or a truthful exceptional result. The original frozen plan and observations remain part of the history. Resolution is not permission to describe a failed measurement as correct. The resulting child is quarantined for the subsequent review.

Close the loop

A disposal decision and confirmation of physical disposal are separate. A keep override is reported for later policy review. Rack-check closure records the review; discrepancies still need their own corrective actions. Follow through until the state matches the real piece and its label.

Use Resolve exceptions for individual pieces and Check a rack for a location review. When a policy appears wrong, send the author the affected piece references, rule explanation and intended outcome. A supervisor's operational decision does not replace the author's draft and reviewer's policy release.
