Base the checklist on the manual
Your checklist should organise tasks permitted for the operator. Do not add repairs or setting changes outside the documentation for the configuration in use.
Record the shift context
Put the device number, date, operator and planned task at the top of the form. When handing over to another person, record the status and open requests.
Define the issue reporting route
Operators should know whom to inform and how to record a symptom. Keep the decision to report separate from diagnosis. Do not expect employees to identify the replacement part themselves.
Update alongside the configuration
Changing the model, end effector or task may require a new checklist. Mark its version and approving device owner. A short document used each shift is better than a long list without an owner.
