Flash after maintenance: change timeline

Separate documented changes from proposed causes. Record first detection and any unknown onset interval; follow the plant product-disposition procedure.

Job / observed feature

Part + revision / mold / press / grade / cavity / marked flash location / sample IDs / inspection reference

Last relevant comparison

Time / accepted inspection + retained sample references / was the same edge and method checked? / baseline limitations

Maintenance work

Work order / planned versus completed scope / findings / changed components / deferred checks / return-to-service reference

Restart and other changes

Time / loaded recipe + revision / material or setup changes / alarms, stops, and later adjustments / responsible record owners

First detection / sampling gap

Detection time / inspected + affected counts by cavity / earliest relevant samples / interval with missing inspection evidence

Review questions

Tooling evidence request / process evidence request / unconfirmed explanations / evidence needed to distinguish them

Follow-through

Action or trial ID / owner + review time / current authorized state / sample locations / quality disposition reference
