When a customer says the scent is weak, what can you check?
What actually went into each batch. What last season really sold, week by week. Which hand operation is producing your rejections.
Three makers. Each one had a recipe and no record of the pour.
Fragrance load, wax blend and pour temperature decide whether a candle throws scent properly.
The recipe is fixed. What actually went in is rarely recorded per batch, so a customer complaint about scent throw has nothing to be checked against.
Wax lot, fragrance lot, load percentage and pour temperature attach to the batch.
Most of the year is steady. Then Diwali and Christmas arrive and volumes multiply for eight weeks.
Planning is done from last year's totals in somebody's memory. Nobody has last year by week, by SKU, so the same shortages and the same overstocks repeat.
Production and despatch are recorded by SKU and week, so next season is planned from data rather than recollection.
Pouring, trimming, labelling and packing are hand operations. Quality varies with the person and the day.
Rejections are counted at final check. They are not recorded against the operation or the person, so the same finish problem recurs without anybody being able to correct it kindly and specifically.
Output and rejects are recorded per operation and per person on the same screen already in use.
A recipe is what should have happened. A batch record is what did.
