Aug 7

Packing kept up all five days since the second table went in

Going well

Both tables have been in use on every shift since, and no order due to ship was held up at packing.

What happened

Packing kept up with the presses on all three shifts for the fifth day in a row. It has done so every day since the second packing table was set up on Aug 3.

Why it matters

Parts can only ship once packed, and packing has not held up any order due to ship in that time.

How to keep it up

Keep both packing tables running on all three shifts.

Evidence

The longest wait to be packed on each shift

The ERP shows the longest time finished parts waited between leaving a press and being packed, shift by shift. Every wait was shorter than one shift, so packing kept up with the presses on all 15 shifts.

Orders due each day, and any held up at packing

The ERP shows the orders due each day, how many shipped on time and how many were held up at packing. None of the 4 late orders was held up at packing, so packing did not make any order late.
