Sampling Plan
For the counterpart who wants the window argued on paper before keys are handed over.
A bad window poisons a good audit. People count the easy days and then wonder why the chart looks calm. The sampling plan is the argument that happens first: which shifts, which meters already exist, which days are festivals or shutdowns, which log is known to be late.
We write the plan so that a sceptical shift lead can mark it. If they can show that Friday nights are always missing from the book, the plan says so in advance. The later audit is then judged against a window that was admitted in daylight.
Sometimes a sketch of the floor is enough. Sometimes we need to walk the module once so the plan does not describe a bay that was moved last spring. That walk is not observation in the audit sense; it is only to stop the paper from lying about the room.
If you already know the window and want the counts taken, skip this page and request the audit directly.
| Who it is for | Plants that are not ready for a full audit but know a sloppy window will waste the later work. |
|---|---|
| What you receive | A plan naming shifts, meters or counts, days to include, and days that cannot honestly be included. |
| What we do not do | The plan is not an audit. No findings letter is issued from a sampling plan alone. |
