How to justify the spend with scrap you can name
Justify the spend with scrap you can name: which customer returned what, what one roll costs, and how many times a year. Without that ledger, do not apply with “better quality”.
To justify this spend, point at scrap you can name: which customer returned what, about how much one roll costs, and how many times a year. If inspection can stop the press before the bad print, compare the money in those rolls with the price. Without that ledger, do not apply with the words “better quality”.
Why it is judged this way
If a doctor blade line once scrapped a whole roll, seeing the first line inline can stop the press. Write the paper, the ink, and the penalty on that roll. A barcode complaint belongs to the barcode function. Do not put every loss on the colour camera.
What to compare
| What you see | What to call it | What not to do |
|---|---|---|
| The loss maps to one function | You can compare it with the price | Use a percent of turnover |
| Only a feeling that quality is poor | Record three months of scrap first | Buy at once on that feeling |
| The function does not match the biggest loss | Buy the one that matches first | Buy the fullest configuration |
At job change or when a roll is opened
- Find the three most expensive kinds of scrap in the last year.
- For each, write the step where inspection can stop it.
- Set that amount next to the quote.
