Prep the show week.

Kit it in the shop.

Pull the sheet — your kits and your cases
Document your signal flow before you leave
Fill the department sheets: patch, plots, media
Print the label that carries the asset number
Build the truck pack, layer by layer

Shop Ops overview — owned gear and case counts, over Inventory & Cases and Kits & Pairing.

02 PREP2 / 4

Travel in their hands.

You do not send another email.

We send on confirmation
Again 7 days out
Again 24 hours before the first check-in
Itinerary is already on their profile — the message just points at it

Advance Ops → People / Travel. Hotels with their confirmations, the event flight hub, and each traveller's booking.

02 PREP3 / 4

Trucks and packs.

Route the week the same place you pack it.

Cases on layers, not a guess at the dock
Trucks pointed at the days they serve
The pack is the sheet the driver gets

Shop Ops → Truck Pack Manager. Floor, Mid and Top as layers over a to-scale deck. Layers, then the door.

02 PREP4 / 4

Route it before you're on site.

Networks and devices are a shop problem, not a load-in surprise.

IPs, VLANs, device list — filled before you roll
Signal Ops is the sheet, not a thread from the van
What isn't routed does not get plugged in first

Load-in →

Advance Ops → Production. The Network department card, one of eight — its Topology, IP Plan and VLAN sheets.

This is one chapter of five, and they are one record. What you settle here is what the other four are reading — nothing is handed over, and nothing is retyped.
