If defects are found during a check are comments required

400
How many times do you lift and drop Single Handle Carriers and Double Handle Carriers while performing the Jerk Test?
What is 6 times for Single Handle Carriers (Three times for both directions of case) and 6 times for Double Handle Carriers
400
How many critical dented / scratched cans found in a case will initiate a block
What is
- Cumulative non critical defects exceeding 1 inch in length and defect rate that exceeds 1 per case - perform immediate 100 can inspection to rule out one off defect (Do not include the case that original dent was identified). Release on 1 defect, initiate block back to last good check on 2.
- Individual defects that exceed 1 inch in length or compromise the integrity or runability of the can and/or aluminum bottle (i.e. is deep enough to potentially cause a leaker/causing excessive closer jams) will be considered critical. Critical defects require immediate shutdown and correction action to determine root cause. All affected product must be blocked back to last good check.
