Back to The big bracket order finished molding in one run

Press 18 and pad printing. Aug 31 to Sep 2. ERP order records.

Brackets molded and printed each day until molding finished

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: All 40,000 brackets are molded, and printing was never more than about 2,000 brackets behind.
