This week

Week 43, 14 to 20 Oct. What the agent achieved, what people decided and what it will do next. Compared with week 42.
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
  1. Finish onboarding Housing B-52 (step 3 of 5)
  2. Bring the MPC layer on Press P3 to a trial draft
  3. 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.
