Is the sheet specified yet, or are people costing a generic one?
6 pointsStill generic. Packaging is comparing candidates. I know that leaves the cost provisional; I want the work list ready.
2 pointsInclude bringing sheets to the station and dealing with the leftovers at product change. Easy to count a replenishment from a stack placed beside the tool. Less easy when somebody has to fetch that stack and find a home for the previous size
17 pointsCould you compare the two carton sizes separately first? I would rather see one useful case and one poor case than an average which convinces nobody who actually handles either product.
3 pointsYes. And show who changes the sheet stack, not just how long the arm waits
9 pointsNoah, are the two sizes changed during a shift or run in separate batches?
6 pointsWe kept two similar consumables in adjacent bins and still managed to issue the wrong one. Different sizes may be obvious, but I would ask receiving how the proposed sheets will be identified before assuming the operator can tell.
22 pointsSeparate batches, Elliot, sometimes both in one shift. Sam, yes, separate comparisons make sense. Our smaller carton is most of the work and barely gains anything from the sheet pattern.
4 pointsWe nearly let a clever rare-case fixture dictate our everyday job. I'd keep the simple pattern prominent for that smaller carton. You can still find out whether the larger one earns the extra handling without making it everyone's default
9 pointsGabriel, agreed, though the shared changeover effort still belongs somewhere. Noah, how would you show a shift which switches between the two instead of running either all day?
12 pointsAs a separate mixed-shift example, I reckon. Keep the per-product results readable, then show what switching adds. Include interrupted sheet replenishment too, if that ends up part of the assessed method
10 pointsAnd hold the support decision open while packaging compares those sheet candidates.
9 pointsPavel, good point about stores. Big and small stops helping when two suppliers trim them differently
9 pointsThanks Julia, mixed shift is the missing example. I've added fetching and returning sheet stock. The smaller-carton option stays sheet-free for comparison; nothing selected until support and tool access are reviewed.
17 pointsJane, exactly. Our bin names outlived the parts they originally described. Noah may have perfectly distinct sheets; I just wouldn't let our sort of vague stock name become the proposed instruction.
2 pointsNoah, who deals with leftover cartons when the shift changes size before finishing a pallet?
