To improve

A press sat idle while its first parts waited at the lab

Aug 25

  1. After a job switch, the press had to stop until the lab approved its first parts. The lab was busy with a customer return, and first parts likely just wait their turn.

  2. Hours of press time lost while the press was ready to run, the longest stop that day.

  3. Put first parts ahead of all other lab work, even customer returns.
