Going well

The lid press reached five days on one job with scrap low

Aug 21

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

  2. A fifth 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.
