When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This log is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this log covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Yard and Mobile Plant programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links seal check and security incident
Not for
- Yard Check Record, which walks the yard and records what is actually parked where against what the system believes.
- Trailer and Equipment Inventory, which holds every trailer, container and piece of transport equipment on site, whose it is and how long it has been here.
- Dock Schedule Adherence Review, which reviews how the dock schedule performed against plan, covering slot adherence, turnaround and idle doors.
- Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
