Risks
The cart is loaded after the press stops
| Risk | If the next job is not known in time, the cart is loaded during the change and no minutes move out of the stop. |
| Early sign | A press stands open while someone is away from it, fetching. |
| Mitigation | The shift supervisor names the mold changes due at the start of each shift. |
| Impact | The price of the carts, about $9,000, with no minutes saved. |
One shift goes back to the old way
| Risk | The carts are used for some weeks, then skipped on a busy shift, and the waiting comes back. |
| Early sign | The job log's median change on one shift rises back toward 63 minutes. |
| Mitigation | One named person per shift for the carts, and the change times read by shift each week. |
| Impact | Up to about $20,300 per year, if every shift goes back. |
