Why the numbers moved
Scrap fell on Line B mostly because cycle time 33.2 s held through two resin lot changes, and the night shift's material wait was tagged so it no longer hid the gain. Line A improved because slow batches were caught while they ran. Energy per batch moved less than modelled: the jacket inlet sensor may be stuck, so that number is Estimated until someone checks.
Next, the agent will focus on
- Finish onboarding Housing B-52 (step 3 of 5)
- Bring the MPC layer on Press P3 to a trial draft
- Get the four proposals left on the table decided

Questions answered, and what they changed
Resin for Housing B-52 set to PA66-GF30, source: operator. Settings borrowed from Housing B-40 and B-44.New part material · Operator B. said "Yes, PA66-GF30 (photo of the bag label)" · 25 h ago
Line pack mode rule now treats agitator off above 65 °C after a discharge as changeover.Mode label · Operator A. said "Changeover" · 5 h ago
Night runs kept and tagged as a material wait. Line B model refit queued.Shift context · Shift lead A. said "Waited for material, resin dryer was late" · 6 h ago
Lot 7731 predicted weight lowered to 47.9 to 48.3 g. Sampling rule for Line B now asks for a mid-run part.Lab sample · Quality head A. said "Start of the run" · 28 h ago
What the agent learned
- Answer usedAgitator off above 65 °C after a discharge means changeover on Line A.Operator A. answered a question · 20 Oct · In use
- Decline reasonDo not propose melt temperature changes in the first hour after a resin lot change.Shift lead A. declined a proposal with a reason · 19 Oct · In shadow, waiting for the process engineer to promote
- MemoryHousing B-52 uses PA66-GF30, same bag as Housing B-40.Operator B. sent a photo · 19 Oct · Saved to plant memory
- Model refitLine B model refitted after the night shift material wait was tagged.Shift lead A. answered a question · 17 Oct · Fit accepted
- PlaybookAfter a cooling water changeover, check the jacket inlet before the next hold step.3 accepted hold-time changes · 15 Oct · Promoted by Process engineer A.
