Kept training records or a who-knows-what chart
Checked whether a written procedure was actually being followed

Set up a checklist or form people fill in on a tablet or phone
Worked as an operator, lead, or QC tech on a production line
None of these yet

Making it stick
Tell us about a process you made stick: a checklist people actually used, or steps for a task only one person knew. What was it like before, what did you do, and what changed? Numbers if you have them.
*
Maximum response length: 3-4 sentences
Tell us about something you wrote (a procedure, checklist, or training) that people didn't follow at first. How did you find out?
*
Maximum response length: 2-3 sentences
What did you do about it?

On the line
In your second week you hear that startup on line 3 sometimes takes twenty minutes and sometimes an hour, and nobody can say why. Nothing about it is written down. How would you find out what's different and who knows, and get it onto a page the next shift can follow?
*
There's no single right answer; we're reading how you think. Maximum response length: 3-4 sentences
The one person who knows how a changeover really goes is a lead on a tight schedule, and they've put you off twice. How do you get what you need from them?
*
Maximum response length: 2-3 sentences

*
Asked my manager what to take on next.
Got ahead on my regular work.
Went after something I'd already noticed needed fixing, and told my manager.
Record a quick (1 to 2 minute) phone video, off the top of your head, and upload it here: Tell us about the last time your priorities got reshuffled partway through something. What moved to the top, and how did you keep track of what you put down?
