Fix operator authorisation, service ownership and parts contact before arrival and half the startup problems disappear.
Key points
- In Botswana operator turnover is high; keep training and authorisation records with the person.
- Authorise by model, keep untrained staff off the machine and record attendance, scores and refresher dates.
- Assign service ownership explicitly: who does daily, weekly and hourly maintenance.
