Description |
Estimated timelines |
1 |
Determination of amount of additional time required to achieve a 25% reduction in drag out on the Lake line and Enterprise line |
Mar 31, 2013 |
|
It was determined that an additional two minutes of drain time would be required to reduce the drag out by 25% |
Completed April 26, 2013. |
2 |
Evaluation on the effect of production of using the increased dwell times on the Lake line and Enterprise line |
June 30, 2013 |
|
It was determined that increasing the drain time by an additional two minutes would have a significant adverse effect on the productivity of the production line making it economically unfeasible to implement. |
Completed May 2, 2013. |
3 |
Programming of PLC computers with additional dwell times. |
Dec 31, 2013 |
|
Option will not be implemented as the effect on production makes it economically unfeasible to implement. |
Completed May 2, 2013. |
