Defects

Every defect gets a person in charge and a clear record.

Crew report defects on board, linked to the equipment, with photos. The office decides the next step. Photos and notes stay with the defect until it is checked and closed.

Why defect tracking matters

A chat message can report a problem, but it cannot track the fix.

Defects cost more when the person in charge, the equipment, the repair and the proof of closing are spread across chats and files.

Priority stays unclear

A critical defect can get lost among routine messages and wait too long.

Technical details get lost

The equipment, failure mode, photos and earlier repairs may sit in different places.

Closure is hard to prove

A spoken update does not show who did the work, what changed, or what was checked.

From report to closed

The whole repair story stays in one place.

The ship and the office see the same, up-to-date record.

01

Report on board

Record the ship, equipment, what was found, failure mode, priority, description and photos.

02

Office reviews

Check how serious it is, name the person in charge, ask for more detail, and decide the next step.

03

Track repair progress

Status, comments, photos, parts and actions all stay on the defect.

04

Check and close

Keep proof of the fix and the history. Reopen it if the problem comes back.

What you can do

More than a defect list.

Keep the technical details and decisions you need to act.

Linked to equipment

Link each defect to the ship, the equipment and the failure mode.

Photos from the ship

Attach photos and files right on the defect.

Status and person in charge

Move each defect through its stages, with a named person in charge.

Closure and reopen history

Keep a record of what was done, and reopen it if the problem comes back.

What to measure

Measure whether defects get fixed.

Track priority, speed, repeat defects and checked closing.

Critical open defects

How many critical defects are still open on each ship, and for how long.

Days to close

Median days from report to checked close, split by priority.

Repeat defects

Defects reopened or repeated on the same equipment and failure mode.

One record per defect, instead of scattered messages.

In the trial, compare how fast defects close, the quality of photos and notes, and repeat defects.
