Pythia Industries
Sample Plant
Back to A press sat waiting for its next mold from the tool room

Press 5. Sep 8. ERP job log.

When the job ended, the mold arrived and parts started again

What it shows: The ERP job log shows when the old job ended, when the mold swap started and when the next job started.

Why it proves the point: The swap itself took a normal 55 minutes, so the rest of the stop was spent waiting for the mold.
