This invented scenario shows how the roles fit together. Hartwell & Pryce Engineering needs two actuator housings on job HP-6428. Unit 00041 requires an optional sealing step; unit 00042 does not. The values illustrate the procedure and must be replaced by your approved source fields and method.
Prepare the expected difference
Sarah, acting as Author, prepares the normal procedure for the family. It begins with mandatory exact unit identification. The sealing option selects the extra step; both variants retain their required preparation and final checks. Any parameter values come from approved tables.
Before running verification, Sarah writes the expected routes. Unit 00041 must include sealing and unit 00042 must omit it. A case missing the required option must block. James, acting as Reviewer, checks those expectations, the method and complete proof before publishing and assigning the release.
Issue identified units
The Supervisor imports the two approved rows, retaining the leading zeros in the unit codes. They check the source revisions and ready results in the issue preview, issue the batch and give each lookup reference to the correct physical unit.
Sam, acting as Operator, chooses the assembly station and claims 00041. The exact identifier scan must match that unit. He records each required item and waits for acceptance. A reference printout is useful beside the work but cannot show whether a hold has since been placed.
Hand over an interrupted unit
Sam encounters a damaged seal before completing the sealing step. He uses Problem with this step and explains the physical finding. The work is held. He does not record a positive acknowledgement for work he could not complete.
The Supervisor checks the evidence and the physical unit, resolves the issue and records only the permitted remedy for that hold. Once the final ordinary hold is resolved, the attempt is paused and unowned. Priya checks the physical unit, current instructions and outstanding evidence, then claims it through her own active station session. A transfer is a different action for otherwise eligible in-progress work; it is not needed to claim this paused attempt.
Check the retained outcome
Priya completes only after all mandatory evidence is accepted. The Supervisor and Viewer later identify the exact attempt and read the hold, remedy and later claim alongside the completion. Unit 00042 follows its own shorter approved route; it does not inherit 00041's evidence.
A later source change would create a separate review requirement. Neither the earlier paper traveller nor a green historic completion proves that a new revision has been performed. Use the live record and its later qualifications.
Hand over the unresolved work
Before Sam leaves, the Supervisor gives Priya a handover tied to unit 00041 and its exact attempt. They use the live record to distinguish what happened from what remains to be done:
| Point to hand over | Expected position | Next responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier preparation evidence | Accepted against 00041's issued traveller | Priya reads it; she does not copy evidence from 00042. |
| Damaged-seal problem | Hold and reason retained | Supervisor records only an available remedy after the physical issue is resolved. |
| Destination control | Final ordinary hold remedy leaves the attempt paused and unowned | Priya uses her current Operator station session to make a new claim; Sam stops using the earlier control. |
| Remaining sealing and final checks | Still outstanding until accepted | Priya follows the frozen route and records the work actually done. |
If the hold remedy's answer is lost, the Supervisor checks the original command before another decision. Priya must inspect current ownership and hold state before claiming. A held attempt with an unresolved problem is not ready merely because Priya can open it.
At the next review, the Supervisor checks the server-confirmed completion of each unit separately and hands the Viewer both attempt references. The hold, remedy and new claim remain part of 00041's history, while 00042 retains its own route and observations.
