Which coil did that go from — and how long to prove it?
Which line is really losing your yield. How long a trace actually takes. How many orders are sitting blocked on a single width.
Three processors. Each one had the record and could not find it.
A coil arrives, gets a number, goes into the yard. Then it is slit, and the children coils get their own identity, and the link back to the parent is a line in somebody's book.
When a customer questions a property, tracing which coil it came from takes a day of walking and asking — if it can be traced at all.
Every child coil now carries its parent and its heat number automatically, at the moment of slitting.
You know your overall yield. Everybody does. What almost nobody knows is which line, which operator, which coil width is pulling it down.
Scrap is weighed at the end. By then it is one number for the month and there is nothing to act on.
Input weight and output weight are recorded at every operation, so the gap has a line attached to it.
A customer order needs four widths. Three are cut. The fourth is waiting because the right coil was not planned in.
The order sits complete-but-not-dispatchable, and nobody sees it as blocked because three of four lines show finished.
An order now shows as blocked when any part of it is, not complete when most of it is.
The steel was never the problem. Knowing which steel, and when, was.
Every coil. Every order. Every operation tracked.
