Short shot + flash: paired-defect record
Locate both observations before proposing a cause. Attach this record to the approved trial log; retain individual sample and cavity identity.
Job / record identity
Date + shift / part + revision / press / mold / material + lot reference / process or trial record ID
What does “together” mean?
Same part, different cavities from one shot, or different trial groups? Record unknown pairing explicitly. Sample + cavity IDs / collection window
Defect map / inspection definition
Incomplete feature / flash location / drawing or permitted photo reference / applicable inspection criteria
Counts by group and cavity
Attach individual results: inspected / short shot / flash / both on the same part. “Both” is already included in each defect count.
Process history and events
Before/after control labels + units and record reference / transfer method / available actual results / other changes, stops, or missing signals
Interpretation
Observed pattern / proposed explanation kept separate / comparison limitations / missing evidence
Next action / handover
Evidence request / owner + review time / sample locations / product status / current authorized process state
