    The document discusses opportunities for process improvement at two steps in a lamination and slitting process. At lamination, a small amount of material passes through without adhesive due to machine setup, and this defective material needs to be properly flagged for removal at slitting. The lamination operator is responsible for ensuring any defective material is clearly flagged, and the slitting operator must then remove all flagged material according to the lamination markings. Consistent flagging and communication between the lamination and slitting steps could help improve quality and reduce waste.
