Describe how material leaves one machine and arrives at the next. The receiving belt, loading direction, enclosure and available maintenance access should be considered together.
Define the acceptance criteria

This guide introduces questions and requirements for further review. It does not replace engineering assessment, equipment instructions or site safety procedures.
