Test the settings, keep one sheet
Process change
SolutionA technician finds the settings that make good parts on the three worst molds. Every shift then starts from one sheet.
| Saves per year | $29,800 to 83,800 |
| Cost | About $5,800 once, then 120 technician hours a year |
| Payback | About 2.5 months |
| Catch | If a worn mold, not its settings, makes the scrap, no sheet will stop it. |
