Care morning ritual
Morning runout, collet, and filter ritual before the first nest.
Essentials on this floor
Runbooks to keep nearby
Ten minutes before the first job
The morning ritual is short: check the collet and taper are clean, do a quick runout check on important days, check the dust bag or bin is empty, and look at the filter date card.
Why mornings
Problems spotted before the first job cost minutes. Problems spotted halfway through a client nest cost material, time and sometimes a bit.
Make it visible
A laminated card on the machine with four ticks per day. Whoever starts the machine ticks it. The owner looks at the card once a week.
Who runs this floor
Whoever starts the machine first that day, every day.
A typical week
Ten minutes before the first job, with four ticks on the card. The owner glances at the card on Friday.
