Tutorial

Tutorial: Govern exact tooling and fixture custody

Extend existing serialized resources with finite tooling controls, immutable fixture composition and explicit ledger-backed crib custody.

Learning goal

Audience

Manufacturing Engineers, Production Managers, planners, supervisors, Stores Officers, Production Operators, Quality Inspectors and auditors.

Goal

Understand what Flow 38 adds, which existing identities remain authoritative, and how one exact bundle moves from released definition through dispatch, use, return and independent service review.

Before you begin

Use an authorised disposable training tenant or read-only accepted example
Existing approved TOOL/EQUIPMENT resources each point to one active serialized physical identity
Each identity is exactly one unrestricted unit in its same-site/classification crib
Current calibration and active exact capacity calendars exist where required
Different named users cover definition release and service inspection review

Use safe learning data

Observation-first is the default. Do not create retained customer, procurement, receipt, inventory, Quality, Engineering or Manufacturing records merely to complete a tutorial.

Guided journey

1
Manufacturing / Inventory
Verify authoritative sources
Open /manufacturing/readiness
Acting role
Manufacturing Engineer
What to do
Verify the current approved resource version, exact physical instance/serial, current calibration and one-unit stock projection before opening the tooling lifecycle.
What you should observe
Every selected identity already exists; Flow 38 extends it instead of creating a parallel asset.
May change
Nothing; source verification is read-only.
Must remain unchanged
Item, resource, physical identity, calibration, current stock and ledger remain unchanged.
2
Manufacturing
Release immutable control
Open /manufacturing/tooling
Acting role
Manufacturing Engineer → different Production Manager
What to do
Select the exact resource and crib, author finite life/warning/inspection/regrind/preset values with CLEAN evidence, submit and independently release.
What you should observe
The approved version freezes the source snapshot and SHA-256 fingerprint.
May change
Control/version/review, evidence, audit and outbox facts.
Must remain unchanged
No quantity, identity, calibration, maintenance, dispatch or machine state is created or changed.
3
Manufacturing
Release fixture composition
Open /manufacturing/tooling
Acting role
Manufacturing Engineer → different Production Manager
What to do
For a fixture, select every exact active component control, its current approved resource version and active approved single-unit calendar, then enter ordered position/setup/tolerance values and release independently.
What you should observe
The immutable configuration can be pinned only while every exact component remains ready.
May change
Fixture configuration/version/component/review evidence.
Must remain unchanged
Components do not merge identities or move from their cribs.
4
Manufacturing / Inventory
Pin, preset and check out
Open /manufacturing/tooling
Acting role
Planner → Supervisor → Stores Officer
What to do
Plan/release a fresh exact dispatch, record each required preset, then check the whole pinned bundle out to one operational location for the named operator.
What you should observe
Every identity has exact fingerprints and finite capacity; checkout produces paired TOOLING_* stock-ledger movements with zero net quantity.
May change
Dispatch pins/loads, preset records, exact current locations, custody events and declared ledger entries.
Must remain unchanged
Canonical serial, physical identity, item, total quantity, Assembly and material stock remain unchanged.
5
Manufacturing
Execute and accumulate life
Open /manufacturing/build-control
Acting role
Exact named Production Operator
What to do
Complete any pinned visual steps, then record the established released operation once. Review the life event for each exact checked-out control.
What you should observe
USES, MINUTES or CYCLES advance from actual operation evidence; a reached interval/limit is explicitly blocked in place.
May change
Immutable life events and, only when due, explicit service status plus paired block ledger entries.
Must remain unchanged
There is no second execution engine, material issue, maintenance job or machine command.
6
Inventory / Manufacturing / Quality
Return and independently service
Open /manufacturing/tooling
Acting role
Stores Officer → Manufacturing/Stores service recorder → different Quality Inspector
What to do
Return the exact bundle to each crib, record inspection or permitted cutting-tool regrind evidence, then have a different Quality Inspector accept or reject it.
What you should observe
Only accepted PASS evidence releases eligible blocked tooling; failed/rejected or life-expired identities stay blocked.
May change
Return/block/release ledger pairs, custody/service/review evidence and reset counters permitted by the released control.
Must remain unchanged
Total quantity, identities, calibration, generic maintenance, Assembly, payroll, accounting and unrelated stock remain unchanged.
