The presses out of plastic stayed idle into a second day
UrgentThe late plastic finally came, but it had to dry before either press could run again.
| What happened | Two presses stayed idle waiting on late plastic, and once it arrived it still had to dry before they could run. Both were running again by 9:50 am. | |||||||||||||||
| Why it matters | Most of a day lost on each press, likely from a plastic order placed too late. | |||||||||||||||
| Next step | Reorder this plastic with several days of stock left, so a late delivery is covered. | |||||||||||||||
| Owner | Materials lead | |||||||||||||||
| Evidence | The idle presses starting again once the plastic driedDried plastic fills the supply boxes at the two presses, and both presses start running again. Neither press starts until the dried plastic reaches it, so the whole wait was for plastic. Supply boxes for presses 23 and 24, Jul 23, 9:50 am, Camera 9 The plastic reorder and the delivery that came too lateThe ERP shows when the plastic was reordered, promised and delivered, and how much was left at each point. The order left only about 8 hours to spare, far too little to cover a delivery that came a day late. Presses 23 and 24, Jul 21 to Jul 23, ERP purchasing records

The new knob job had its lowest scrap day yet
Going wellNearly every knob has come out good since the job started, and its scrap keeps getting lower.
| What happened | A press on a new knob job scrapped less than on either day before, with nearly every knob good. It was under 1 percent scrap, its lowest share so far. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Why it matters | Compared with the plant's usual scrap, the extra good knobs now number in the thousands. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| How to keep it up | Keep the knob job on the settings the lab approved so its scrap stays this low. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Owner | Quality manager | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Evidence | The new job's scrap falling to its lowest day yetThe ERP shows how many knobs the press made and how many were scrap each day on its new job. Every day stayed near 1 percent, and Jul 23 scrapped the smallest share of the three. Press 14, Jul 21 to Jul 23, ERP scrap record
