Sorting off IG Lines
Overview
The process for sorting off the backend of IC 2, IC 3, the 7500, Lisec 1, and Lisec 2
Definitions
Oddity run: a run of less than 20 units of a specific spacer/coil size of a batch.
IG: An insulated glass unit.
Procedure
-
Before starting a run, check to see if the run is sortable.
- Only oddity runs are not sortable.
-
15 minutes before starting a sortable run, contact CGA to see if parts of that batch have already been run elsewhere in the shop.
- If parts of that batch have been run elsewhere, CGA will bring all the harps from that batch over to your line.
- If no other area has run parts of the batch, get new harps to start sorting into.
- If another line is currently running parts of the batch, get new harps to start sorting into.
-
Make sure you have enough harps to sort directly into.
-
If you don’t have enough harps to sort directly into, do not continue your sortable run.
- While waiting for harps to become available, run remakes, do quality audits (RRC), organize your area, etc.
-
If you don’t have enough harps to sort directly into, do not continue your sortable run.
- If a unit breaks or is missing, follow the Glass Remake Process.
