The
drying
process
of
the
manufacturing
plant
has
been
suering
from
an
average
down@me
rate
of
30%.
This
causes
WIP
to
build
up
in
the
mixing
tanks,
which
results
in
WIP
further
building
up
downstream.
At
any
given
@me,
we
have
about
24
hours
worth
of
inventory
in
the
mixing
tanks.
We
lose
on
the
average
about
$300,000
worth
of
customer
orders
every
month
due
to
our
inability
to
deliver
