Catch mistakes before it’s too late!
Having a good checking system is paramount to catching problems before they leave the office and supplying the customer with quality drawings.
- First of all, print and check your own drawing. Self checking is an essential and measurable activity that can drive down rework.
- If possible, have someone else check your drawings. A fresh set of eyes will often notice errors that you have missed. Ideally your ‘checker’ will be more experienced than you. Dedicated checkers are valuable in the context of maintaining drawing standards.
- Have a procedure for signing off drawings so someone is responsible for making sure they have been checked and marked up as required. That way you know it was done!
