Verification
| Test | - From the ERP job log, list last month's jobs by press.
- For each job on a large press, find the smallest press its mold ran in over the past year.
- Mark the job if that press is two or more sizes smaller.
- Add up the marked hours, and note whether a smaller press was idle at the time.
|
| Cost | Under $100: about two hours of the scheduler's time, at $40 per hour. Nothing is bought. |
| Duration | About two hours |
| Confirmed if | The marked jobs that had an idle smaller press add up to about 25 hours or more in the month. |
| Ruled out if | Few jobs are marked, or each marked job had a reason: its smaller press was booked, or the mold needs a large press. |
