Turn readiness into evidence

Use this checklist in a meeting with production, quality, maintenance, IT, OT and the project sponsor. Check an item only when the team can point to a document, test result or observed demonstration. Progress is saved in this browser only. Do not enter proprietary production records or personal information. The reset button clears the saved selections.

Example

In an illustrative pilot, the team can dispatch an order and capture production but has not tested a duplicate completion message. Leave the data item unchecked, assign the integration owner and schedule a replay test. A high completion count does not compensate for an unresolved critical risk.

Limits

This is an editorial planning checklist, not a safety assessment, regulatory audit, certification or assurance that a pilot should proceed. Add requirements specific to your products and quality system. The sponsor should explicitly record blocking issues and who may authorize their closure. A complete checklist still needs a review of the evidence and a decision by the people responsible for the plant.
