What is the best practice when starting the alignment process?

When starting the alignment process, ensuring that all necessary equipment and tools are prepared is essential for a successful outcome. Having the right tools and equipment on hand allows for more efficient work, reducing the likelihood of delays or mistakes that could arise from needing to gather materials mid-process. Proper preparation also enables a smoother workflow, thus allowing the technician to focus entirely on the alignment tasks at hand.

Starting with the preparation phase sets the foundation for the alignment process to be completed with accuracy and efficiency. It also helps to prevent issues that could occur if important tools or equipment are missing, which can lead to incorrect measurements or the need to double back, ultimately increasing the time and complexity of the task. Therefore, being well-prepared is a fundamental best practice when initiating alignment work.
