Which part of the carton carries the product down to the base? A continuous insert or separate feet? The outside rectangle hides quite a lot.
13 pointsTwo folded rails inside, Sofia, and the packaging drawing marks their direction; the turned row puts a rail across a gap rather than along the supported strip.
14 pointsWhy is keeping the same carton count already sacred? Losing a position might be annoying, but so is designing an elaborate tool around a pallet nobody has agreed can carry the goods
19 pointsA wider gap could help the fingers. Might also leave less carton supported.
1 pointsWe've had a turned row come back into a drawing for exactly that finger-clearance reason. Who owns your combined drawing, rather than each half?
16 pointsAnd does the customer require that count per pallet? I wouldn't spend time comparing lower-count options if the receiving arrangement rules them out.
20 pointsCount affects dispatch too. Somebody gets the extra pallet to label and move.
19 pointsBruno, there's no fixed customer count, just our target; Amara, our integrator owns the combined drawing, but I've only had the top view from them so far.
14 pointsWho deals with the half-finished layer when the order runs out, Priya?
6 pointsI'd want a section through the least supported carton, not whichever one looks best. Mark the rails on it so packaging can point to the actual problem.
8 pointsOwen's gap idea needs packaging's input too. More finger space doesn't automatically help those rails.
17 pointsYes. That's why I mentioned the lost support.
4 pointsHana, the packing operator handles order endings, which aren't drawn yet; Grace, thanks, I've asked for the section through the turned row and included the rail positions.
8 pointsOur last changeover sheet had two pallet pictures with no way to tell which applied. If alternatives survive this review, somebody needs to own the selection.
11 pointsFor the combined drawing I'd include the fingers while carrying the carton, while releasing it, and on withdrawal. A section of the finished stack can look fine while the tool still has nowhere to go. Packaging can then mark support they actually require against those positions. I wouldn't ask them to invent the gripper solution. Give them something concrete to reject or accept within their part of the job.
18 pointsJoel, agreed on the extra handling, but the current count isn't free either if every order ending needs somebody to rescue the plan; I'd cost both before calling the smaller pattern wasteful
11 pointsThe integrator has sent a straight-row alternative with one fewer position and a different withdrawal route; packaging has marked the rails supported in the drawn finished layer, but hasn't checked the placement sequence yet, so at least we're arguing over the same sheet now.
5 pointsKeep the old count out of the operator sheet while that's being checked. Ours nearly got taught from a superseded picture.
10 pointsIs the one fewer position per layer, Priya, or per complete pallet? Dispatch will want the total difference.
6 pointsAnd please include the short order on that same sheet, not a separate guess left for packing.
