Prepare the Starting Point
Record the materials, equipment and usual conditions, then define the problem or improvement sought. This creates a clear basis for comparison.
Observe the Process and Product
Observe how the material behaves during application, then review the finished result against agreed criteria. Note any process changes made during the trial.
Document the Next Decision
Bring production, quality and purchasing observations into one summary: what worked, what needs adjustment and what should be tested next.
Measure Consumption per Accepted Unit
Record material used, accepted units and rejected units over a defined period. A price-per-kilogram comparison can hide differences in consumption or rejection rate. Repeat the assessment if line speed, substrate or application method changes; useful comparisons require repeatable conditions.
