The first deliverable is not a manual. It is a shared picture of how the shop wins work, plans it, makes it, checks it, and learns from misses.
A practical route
Walk the floor first. Week 1 maps value and risk; weeks 2–3 create records around real jobs; week 4 trains owners; month 2 runs an audit and management review; month 3 closes high-risk actions and rehearses the audit route.
What good looks like
The process is visible at the point of work. The person doing the task knows the current requirement, the person approving it can see objective evidence, and the owner can tell whether the control worked. Keep the record small enough to complete in the moment: requirement, result, exception, owner, date, and next decision.
The failure mode to avoid
Do not solve a recurring process problem with a longer form alone. Watch one real job, find the handoff that breaks, and change the workflow or responsibility. Then sample the next few records to confirm the change stuck. The output should be a record someone else can verify. Use the consultant workspaces. to keep that chain together.
