Create Manual Logs

What is a Manual Log?

Manual Logs provide a detailed record of production activities, errors, and events. This information is essential for monitoring the health and performance of product production.

Measurements should be recorded and stored until the data is no longer relevant. p. 507

When temperatures are monitored manually, standard temperature recording forms ("logs") reduce errors and ease the task for the operations and manager. p 507

Manual Log measurements are determined by Measurement Positions, Metrics and Methods.
