Risks
The cart is loaded after the press stops
| Risk | If the next job is not known in time, the cart is loaded after the press stops, and nothing is saved. |
| Early sign | A press stands open while someone is away from it, fetching. |
| Mitigation | At the start of each shift, a supervisor names the mold changes due in it. |
| Impact | The carts' price, about $9,000, with no time saved. |
A 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 median mold change on one shift rises back toward 63 minutes. |
| Mitigation | One named person on each shift loads the carts, and change times are read by shift each week. |
| Impact | Up to about $20,300 per year, if every shift goes back. |
