It's the Paper, Stupid --Dickeson

It is, indeed, the paper, good buddies.

What caused the waste? The devil, as always, is in the details. Paper packaging, fiber cores, slab-off, makeready, stops and restarts, running waste, trim, overrun, signature imbalance and so on are the causes. If we would reduce waste, the losses from each of those sources must be measured. That's the granular aspect of waste. Is it important? Only if you want to make some money! You must decide how important it is for the business to make a profit.
