Business scenario in the Operations context:
Operational background for PRO-01234
A high-end supermarket has ordered 1,000 cash register displays for their new product - an auto-bottom one-piece display. The customer will accept between 980 to 1020 units.
The order is to be delivered to the fulfillment center in zip code 27609 by 9:45 am tomorrow. Forecasted weather conditions on the road suggest 30 min delay, promised time should be 7:30 am.
The product will be finished on the specialty folder gluer. The order is scheduled to run during the second shift.
During the operation, the machine operator, David Overstreet, has had some running stops due to fish-tailing. At this moment he is facing his third stop. David Overstreet is with the company for one week. His previous experience has been with a XYZ folder gluer featuring only manual setup and speed adjustments.
This order is for a new customer. The customer, a high-end supermarket, will have this new luxury brand product exhibit at the POS. The customer is proud to offer only the best and to ensure compliance, the quality of the products as well of any item in contact with the customer is well specified for the suppliers. Specifications for corrugated products related to fish-tailing are k1-k2 no bigger than 1.5 board thickness and never more than 7 mm or 9/32”.
The customer is considering including this box plant as part of its strategic supply chain. Delivery time, quality, and precise quantities are being evaluated.

I found this customer’s general specifications
David:
is there anything else I need to know about speed adjustment?
Ki-ino:
Yes. The OEM instructor recently advice that for this machine condition when the double-wall board is folded it is necessary to increase the speed by 1% on the right-side folding belt.
