Audit Week
Audit Week brings your machine information into one working record for inspection periods. For a Johannesburg shop, that usually means model details, serial plates, visible wear points and any missing tooling noted before the review starts.
How Audit Week lands on a Crown Mines machine-floor week
Audit Week deals with machine records and condition checks for workshop review periods. It is intended for shops that need serial details, machine notes and floor information ready in one place.
Begin at the machine itself, not the paperwork stack. On Crown Mines premises, a useful audit note covers spindle noise, slide condition, lubrication points, electrical cabinet state and what the operator has been watching during recent jobs. If the unit is a lathe, boring machine or valve grinder, include the job type it has been handling and whether backlash, chatter or heat has appeared.
Take photos before covers are moved and before loose items are rearranged. Wide shots help place the machine in the shop, while close images of controls, bedways, guards and identification plates make the record more useful later. A short written note beside those images can flag leaks, damaged handles or parts that are no longer fitted.
Machine details worth capturing
A proper Audit Week file should show what machine is on site, what condition it is in and what still needs checking. Include the machine class, any plate information, obvious faults, extra equipment present and remarks from the workshop team who use it daily.
Keep one record per machine so nothing is mixed between units. Before you send anything through the contact form, check that the handwritten notes all refer to the same machine. Add transport access points or loading concerns if the machine sits in a tight bay.
- Serial plate and model details recorded
- Photos of wear, controls and guards
- Notes on tooling, extras and faults
Checks that suit Crown Mines
Audit Week in Crown Mines should reflect workshop conditions as they stand, not a cleaned-up summary. Note access around the machine, lifting limits, power supply arrangement, chip build-up, coolant state and whether the area allows a proper inspection without stripping production space. Where records are missing, mark that clearly instead of guessing model or age.
Johannesburg dust often settles into slides, cabinets and motor vents, so that should be visible in the notes. If a machine has stood idle, look for surface rust, stiff controls and perished hoses before listing it as ready for use. Where load shedding has affected running hours or testing, include that in the machine history.

Useful notes for review files
Brief Audit Week with machine photos, timing, and what is already giving trouble. Keep the subject line clear.
Write the audit entry while the machine is still in front of you. That is the best time to capture missing guards, changed motors, non-standard chucks, spare steadies or valve grinding attachments that might not appear in older paperwork.
