Scrap plastic thrown away
Two presses with a grinder now mold all their leftover plastic again, and the plant is well short of its goal.

- Going well
| What happened | A grinder beside each of two presses now cuts their leftover plastic into flakes to be molded again. In the first full week, all of it went back into the same jobs. |
| Why | Both grinders ran on every shift, and a material handler began weighing the flakes at one press midweek. |
| Since last week | More was molded again now that the grinders ran all week, and one press's scoop is replaced by a scale. |
| How to keep it up | Weigh the flakes at the second press too, then order grinders for the next heaviest bins. |
