• Resource intensive– An average facility will perform at least 2 full walk-thoughs a
day– Each walk-through takes approximately 45 minutes including
the time to enter the data– Between times, several mini-reviews must be performed
• Prone to human error
• Information is only accurate to the last walk-through
• Often incomplete (doesn’t include ALL vehicles)
