Going well

The lid press stayed on one job, and its scrap fell further

Aug 18

  1. The press stayed on its lid job through both shifts again, and nearly every lid came out good. Press 16 has now run four shifts in a row with no job switch.

  2. A second day with fewer lids to remake than when this job ran in short runs at the walk.

  3. Keep planning jobs in one long run like this, where customer orders allow.
