01 · Record the first operation

## What the team finds

A busy club appears to need more machines, yet demand concentrates on a few types while others sit idle. Compare recurring equipment use with check-ins and peak waiting by equipment category.

02 · Decide at a later review

## Who acts, and what changes

Responsible team · Club or facility manager

At the later investment review, assess a rebalance of existing equipment before a purchase. The facility manager approves the category mix and assigns the floor team to implement the change.

03 · Verify in the next comparable operation

## How the team checks the result

During the next comparable membership peak, verify the new mix is available. Compare category utilization, member waiting and the purchase expenditure required to meet demand.
