Our FR5 packaging section supports the carton bearing strips, but the tooling drawing places withdrawal gaps under two of them; I have both current revisions and want one combined decision before the alternating pattern is included in the order
Ask the integration lead to put the packed carton and complete tool withdrawal on one identified section. Separate current drawings can still describe incompatible arrangements.
The combined section confirms the conflict and the original arrangement is rejected; packaging is assessing a straight-row alternative while tooling checks its changed release path
Is that alternative being checked against the same packed construction and ordinary partial orders? The changed path needs a supported carton throughout placement and withdrawal, not only in the final layer view.
I would also keep the lower count and extra pallet exchanges in the comparison, if that straight arrangement changes them. Simpler tooling may be worthwhile, but its work cannot be compared with the original pattern's optimistic count.
And did dispatch review where its unfinished pallets wait? That can change whether an otherwise acceptable arrangement is practical in the room you have.
