Disposition This!
Parts are coming off the line and every single one is wrong. Drop them through 100% Inspection* and into a disposition bin. Rework costs time. Scrap costs money. But that big bin in the middle? That bin just moves parts. Quota is quota.

Click the board (or press Space) to drop a part where you're pointing.
* 100% inspection famously catches about 80% of defects. Our inspector is having a completely normal day, takes a coffee break mid-shift, and — this is the important part — finding the defect changes nothing. The disposition does. Guess what the disposition is.
How to play
- Click / tap the board (or press Space) to drop a part. Every part is nonconforming. Every single one.
- Parts fall through 100% Inspection. About 80% get a red DEFECT NOTED. The rest get a green check. Both keep falling. That's the joke. That's also the industry.
- Measure it until it fits. Press R to re-measure everything currently flagged. Each round has a decent chance of producing the number you wanted, and costs 1.5 s of shift. The parts do not change — only the paperwork does. Flagged parts carry a small red tick on the board.
- Bins: Scrap costs real money. Rework sends the part back to the top of the board (the queue). Repair ships it with a bandage. RTV — the supplier says it met the PO. Use As Is ships it. Only shipping counts toward quota.
- Shipped defects sometimes come back as a customer escape — containment means more parts drop. An 8D is opened. It will not close.
- Hit quota before the shift ends. Or don't — the shift gets dispositioned too.
