A rush order of clips was molded with no mold change

Going well

It went onto a press already making this clip, so molding started the same day the order came in.

What happenedA customer placed a rush order for clips, and a press already making that clip took it with no mold change. Molding began that afternoon and finished on the night shift.
Why it mattersThe whole rush order was molded within a day of coming in, and no press stopped for a mold change.
How to keep it upKeep putting rush orders on a press that already makes the part.
