Going well

Four days on one job, and the lid press stayed steady

Aug 20

  1. The press ran its lid job on both shifts for a fourth day, and nearly every lid came out good. Press 16 has now run eight shifts in a row with no job switch.

  2. A fourth 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.
