Record the Black Yard Location on Form F07 'Scale Sheet.' Check for proper design, surface defects, venting, damage, and steel type (e.g., cast iron, heat-treated, high-strength). Confirm accurate counts against customer paperwork.
• Address Discrepancies: If issues are identified, attach an orange Quality Problem Tag (Form F08), note the issue on the Scale Sheet, and submit Form F09 'Immediate Response Required' to Inside Sales/Customer Relations.

• Follow-Up Actions: Upon receipt of customer-approved Immediate Response Form, update the back of the quality tag with the correct processing instructions.
