A press got its new knob job right on the first try
Going wellThe job ran on with no second round of lab checks, and nearly every knob after came out good.
| What happened | A press started a new knob job, and the quality lab approved its first parts on the first try. It then ran through the evening and night shifts at about 1 percent scrap. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Why it matters | Hundreds more knobs came out good than at the plant's usual scrap. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| How to keep it up | Save the settings the lab approved so the next run of this knob starts right too. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Owner | Quality manager | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Evidence | How few knobs the new job scrapped on its first dayThe ERP shows how many knobs the press made and scrapped on each shift of its first day on the new job. Even the first hours on the new job, when a press usually scraps the most, stayed near 1 percent. Press 14, Jul 21, ERP scrap record
