How long does a batch wait before QC even looks at it?
How long batches really wait for release. Whether your yield matches your formula, batch by batch. How fast you could scope a recall if you had to.
Three plants. Each one blamed the lab for a queue nobody was managing.
The batch is made. It is correct. It cannot move, because QC has not released it.
QC is not slow, the testing takes hours. The batch waits to be picked up, and nobody is watching the age of that queue, so the oldest batch is rarely the next one tested.
The QC queue is now visible and ordered by age, not by whoever walked over to ask.
The formula says a batch should give you a certain quantity. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not, and it is written off as normal loss.
Because charged quantity and output quantity are rarely recorded together, a formula that is quietly wrong, or a scale that is quietly off, can run for months.
Charge in and output out are recorded per batch, so a persistent gap becomes visible rather than absorbed.
A customer reports a problem. You need every batch that used the same raw material lot, and every customer those batches went to.
The information exists in a store register, a batch card and a dispatch book. Putting them together takes two people and most of a day, while the clock is running.
Raw material lots attach to the batch at charging, and batches attach to the dispatch. The chain is queryable in one step.
The testing was never slow. The waiting to be tested was.
