About the Instrument Commissioning Progress Tracker
Commissioning progress is easier to manage when every system shows the same stages. This tracker makes bottlenecks visible, such as loops installed but not cold loop checked.
How to fill in this template
- List systems and total loops from the instrument index.
- Update counts for each stage weekly.
- Percentages calculate automatically.
- Use remarks for blockers.
- Share the summary in progress meetings.
What the formulas do
- Stage % = stage count ÷ total loops.
- Overall % = (installed + calibrated + cold loop + hot loop) ÷ (4 × total).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why track by system?
Handover usually happens system by system.
What is the difference between cold and hot loop?
Cold loop checks wiring and signals without process; hot loop checks with the real process running.
Can I add more stages?
Yes, add columns and update the overall formula.
