So I am wondering how many other troubleshooters force things on or write around things temporarily to get a machine running, then come back and fix the problem.
I spend a large part of my time role playing situations so I am prepared when something goes wrong. I now can write around most of our problems rather than shut down to change a prox or adjust a photo eye, I just write around it for a min till lunch. Knowing the machine well has a big part in this. Don't force or write around pressure switches or safety devices or stuff you don't know about obviously.
In our shop so far it seams the people saying fix it, or that things should not be written around spend their time ****ing off while the ones who agree with me seem to spend their time understanding the machines and reading all the tech manuals. ( side note the naysayers are old and think computers are dumb)
The question
Accrue 5 min of downtime to latch it out/ or force it on?
Or an hour to fix it?
