Risks

The leak walk is done once and not repeated

Risk	The first leak walk fixes the largest leaks, then no date is set for the next. New leaks open as hoses and couplings wear.
Early sign	A quarter passes with no new tag, and the pumping minutes at a meal break creep up.
Mitigation	One named person, a date each quarter, and every reading on one sheet.
Impact	About $6,400 per year: what fixing the leaks adds to the figure.

Risk	Pressure drops along the line, so the farthest press gets less than the compressors send. One step too many leaves that press short.
Early sign	On the day of a step, parts stick in the mold at one press, or a moving part of its mold slows down.
Mitigation	Steps of two psi, a full shift between them, and the farthest press watched each time.
Impact	Slower cycles or rejected parts at that press until the pressure goes back up.
