REVISION

A film revision is a machine setting.

Stretch film and dispenser consumables are run on equipment set to a specification. A material change that is not passed to the machine is a change that will not be reproduced.

Why the machine column belongs on the log.

Because a material revision that is not passed to the machine produces different results from the same roll. The film is not the product; the film on the machine at a setting is the product.

The habit worth copying.

Recording which delivery first carried the revision. Without it, two specifications run in the same week and the resulting damage figures cannot be attributed.
