Read the answer →What normally controls the result?
Improvement starts with a clear definition, measured baseline and an agreed result that can be tested after the change.
- Data definition and collection
- Operator and maintenance method
- Product and format variation
- Machine condition and process capability
- Acceptance, risk and commercial criteria
Information that makes a recommendation more accurate
- Current baseline data
- Affected products and formats
- Cost or risk of the problem
- Required future state
- Site and compliance constraints
- Acceptance test and owner
