Record each mold's smallest press
Process change
SolutionEach mold's ERP record names the smallest press it has run in, and the scheduler books that press first.
| Saves per year | $8,900 to 20,700 |
| Cost | About $930 of staff time once, then 1.5 hours a week |
| Payback | About five weeks |
| Catch | A job moves only when its smaller press is idle, so in a week when those presses are full, it frees nothing. |
