Pythia Industries
Sample Plant
Back to A press waited for its next mold a third time

Press 5. Sep 8 to Sep 11. ERP job log.

Each wait for a mold so far, and the press time it cost

What it shows: The ERP job log shows how long press 5 waited for each mold, how long each swap took and the whole stop.

Why it proves the point: Each swap took under an hour, so most of the 8 hours press 5 was stopped went to waiting for molds.
