Ask both to start with your incoming tray. Or price their proposed preparation explicitly.
21 pointsThe tidy-tray supplier wants a dedicated insert, filled manually; I've asked for a full-order comparison including that work rather than another close-up of the fast pickup.
8 pointsWho fills it while the packer does the current job?
18 pointsDefine the receiving condition too. What must a successfully placed cap look like, and who judges the result? The preparation allowance will not answer that.
3 pointsSame packer, Victor, so their existing work stays in the timing; Jane, each cap must seat in our assembly nest, with the assembly lead judging placement and release.
19 pointsI'd include an ordinary tray exchange, not just a long run from a freshly set tray. That's often where the covering person discovers the demonstration quietly relied on someone else.
19 pointsAnd a partly filled tray. Our orders don't politely finish at the last pocket.
7 pointsToby, exactly. Include who clears the unused caps, not just who brings the next tray.
-6 pointsThe first repeat is back: dedicated insert gives consistent seating, but manual preparation and clearing partials use almost all the order saving. Other candidate's original tray still needs an intervention at one corner.
12 pointsWas that corner intervention included in its reported result? It needs to remain visible if they propose a correction and repeat the comparison.
11 pointsNearly no saving is still an answer. What problem would the new insert solve for you?
9 pointsFewer awkward reaches, mainly, but our manual bench can be rearranged cheaply; Jane, the corner intervention is in the report and the supplier is proposing a tray locator correction.
4 pointsCould the bench change remove those reaches without adding the insert preparation? I'd give that option the same packer's walkthrough before deciding the little saving is worth the machinery.
8 pointsWe've tried the bench arrangement with the packer and it removes the awkward reach; the automation comparison now needs another benefit to justify its cost, not just a nicer pickup video.
19 pointsThen don't buy it out of embarrassment at having spent time comparing it.
13 pointsWe aren't buying for this order; manual bench change is staying, and the supplier's tray correction can wait until a larger repeat job makes another comparison worthwhile.
21 pointsUseful decision. Did you retain the intervention clip for that later comparison?
