Aug 3

Packing kept up on all three shifts with a new second table

Going well

Finished parts did not pile up waiting to be packed, with both tables in use on every shift.

What happened

Parts cannot ship until they are packed, and packing kept up with the presses on all three shifts. The likely reason is a second packing table, set up on Aug 3.

Why it matters

No order due to ship was held up at packing.

How to keep it up

Keep both packing tables running on all three shifts.

Evidence

The longest wait to be packed, and the orders due to ship

The ERP shows the longest time finished parts waited to be packed on each shift, and the orders due Aug 3. Every wait was shorter than one shift, and the one late order was not held up at packing.

Both packing tables in use on the day shift

Finished parts are packed at both tables at once, with the new second table set up beside the first. Parts are being packed at both tables at the same moment, so the second table is in use.
