I have a question, I do not know anything about running molding machines but I am over inventory for a couple of our customers.
Both of them I have to keep up with their goods here, one I just count the gaylords of plastic they have here. The other is a little more in depth, I got to keep up with how much plastic and colorant lbs. they have. Not only that but keep up with how much lbs. we use per day and also I have to do QC.
OK, the part weighs average 2.55lbs. and we use 2% black color, lets say we make 1500 parts in 24 hrs. How much color did we use?
I come up with 76.5 lbs. What I do then is subtract that from the day before to get what we have on hand but when I went and looked at it today we have 1200 lbs. more than what I've been sending them on inventory. So therefore we must not be using as much as I thought, right?
Thanks,
