I was told it was a body shop break down, rather than drain the whole system running the rest of the shift they elected to stop and hope for the problem to be resolved so night could run. As of 12:30pm P-Stacker has 215 buildable units, 88 Us in the system with a few from Paint still due.

It was a 5 hour body breakdown.
Ok SWW code does count towards your 40 hours. So Saturday will be paid at time and 1/2, but every hour you work will come out of the SWW payout since it was OT scheduled prior to the downtime. So you'll get paid at time 1/2 but lose your SWW pay.

The problem isn't the number of jobs in the stacker, it's the mix. We had over 300 in the stacker but no jobs for line 2. All units were scheduled for line 1 and there were no jobs to swap to line 2. Only 4 X 2's can schedule down line 2 and all we had in the stacker were 4 X 4's. The HK system (stacker) shuts down if it asks for a particular type of unit and none is available. From what I understand, a supplier had problems shipping parts for 4 X 2's so the mix was flooded with 4 X 4's, What part? Dunno....Are the parts on the way? Dunno...Just explaining why the mix in the stacker is more important than the number of jobs in the stacker.

Well, that seems a bit odd to me.  We've been running an over 50% 4x2 mix on frame 1 and have been for the last 3 days. |

Why odd SHOGurl? We've been swapping jobs to line 2 the last 3 days to accommodate the mix. We simply ran out of line 2 jobs this afternoon at around 1:10pm. Just because we have been running a 50% doesn't mean we can continue to without the correct mix. Stop by J-33 sometime and I'll be glad to explain how the stacker works. Constraints, job mix, adjusting 8502's for line allocation, ASC ratios, etc.

This is what I find "odd". Provided I am reading it correctly, how are we(frame 1) "flooded with 4x4's" when we(frame 1) are running a predominantly 4x2 mix? A typical mix for frame 1 is 1/3 4x2's or less. An over 50% 4x2 mix is quite excessive.

When I said, "flooded with 4 x 4's", I was referring to units coming from paint into the stacker. Not scheduled out to the lines.

And, therein, lies the miscommunication. Thank you for clarifying. ;D

Line 2 does not run 4x2's or DRW's (I think...) This mix constraint is a residual effect of our old buddy Todd Bryant. He was a genius. |

ktpsparky: You are absolutely right, I did reverse my line 1 and line 2 explanation. Thanks for setting it straight. And you are correct that DRW's do not go down line 2. The point I was trying to make was of the mix being more important than the number of jobs.

You got it right ktpsparky. The vendor is having problems supplying enough 4x4's, so Detroit is filling in with 4x2's. This starves Line 2 of jobs available from the stacker. Hearing a couple more days to line it out and then our daily orders coming in should be balanced again.
