01 · Record the first operation
What the team finds
MES reports completion, but cycle times vary across repeated parts. Align each work order with observed work, material waiting, changeover and recovery at the cell.
02 · Decide at a later review
Who acts, and what changes
Responsible team · Production supervisor
In the later cell review, the supervisor approves the specific material or changeover handoff causing repeated delay. Assign the preparation owner before the next run.
03 · Verify in the next comparable operation
How the team checks the result
On the next run of comparable parts, verify preparation and compare cycle time by station, keeping product and batch conditions consistent.
