Receiving drawings or documents
I work as a consulting engineer, and traffic in a lot of engineering drawings.
100% inspection is the only way to guarantee you have all of the
correct drawings, as tedious as it seems. Here are the methods I use:
When you get any plans from anybody:
Did I get all the drawings listed on the drawing list?
Do the titles match the drawing list?
Do the revisions match between all drawings and the drawing list?
If I received multiple sets (even the same size) did I check ALL drawings in ALL sets?
I'm not going to hesitate to ask for an updated drawing to complete a package correctly, if I know about a problem.
I also prominently mark any obsolete drawings with a single red slash across the center (not obscuring detail, but not possible to miss).
If I'm ready to destroy a drawing, it gets the slash and folded at least in half so that the printed side and slash is visible.
With all that said, it is pretty easy to imagine that there are a range of kit numbers that need (for example) Rev D, and later kits that need Rev E.
- like the fuse kits before and after pre-punched fuse kits were introduced.
