Conclude

Separate observations, explanations, open questions and next steps. Do not calculate improvement from totals using different weights. Inspect details when aggregates match. Record the status of an unsuccessful run. Show any historical reference plan separately with its version and date.

Worked Entry: Reading the Injection Case

This entry uses D2's published run record to demonstrate how to complete the worksheet.

  • Conditions: both color and capacity weights changed, so this was a combined adjustment.
  • Observation: sequence changes rose from 41 to 46 and circular changes from 6 to 14.
  • Interpretation: these two counts show no reduction in changes. Scores of 14.9 and 66.4 use different weights and cannot directly establish an improvement percentage.
  • Open question: which cycles and positions changed, and how were the raw objective values scored?
  • Next step: design an independent color-only comparison, then add actual status and results after execution.

Replace this example with the records for your own run. Mark missing details as awaiting data rather than entering estimates as measurements.
