Sample Plant
Back to Pad printing kept up with the brackets a second day in a row

Press 18 and pad printing. Aug 31 to Sep 1. ERP order records.

Brackets molded and printed each day so far

What it shows: The ERP shows how many brackets press 18 molded and how many were printed on each day of the order.

Why it proves the point: Printing stayed within about 2,000 brackets of molding on both days, so the order never sat waiting.
