Mission

Filler 02 Running Underweight

The checkweigher after Filler 02 is rejecting containers as underweight. Not all of them — roughly one in four, and only once the line has been running for about an hour. QA have quarantined the last two pallets and want to know whether anything underweight has shipped. The line is still running.

Every investigation costs time. Choose the order deliberately — you are scored on it.

Submit diagnosis

You can call it at any point. Submitting ends the mission and is scored on the evidence behind the answer, not only on the answer.
