Two presses sat idle waiting for a late plastic delivery
UrgentThe plastic was likely reordered with too little stock left to cover a delay in delivery.
| What happened | Two presses ran out of plastic and sat idle, waiting on a delivery that had not come. Their plastic was reordered with only about a day of stock left. | |||||||||||||||
| Why it matters | Both presses lost most of the time they were scheduled to run, and still had no plastic. | |||||||||||||||
| Next step | Reorder this plastic while several days of stock are still left. | |||||||||||||||
| Owner | Materials lead | |||||||||||||||
| Evidence | Both presses stopped with their plastic supply boxes emptyThe supply boxes that feed the two presses are empty, and both presses sit stopped behind them. Both presses are stopped with nothing left to feed them, so the lost time is waiting for plastic, not a fault. Supply boxes for presses 23 and 24, Jul 22, 5:15 pm, Camera 9 The plastic reorder that left too little stock to spareThe ERP shows when the plastic was reordered and promised, when it ran out, and that it had not arrived.
