Notes
Sentences from people who kept the paper.
The dwell chart showed our cinnamon lots sleeping in bay four for eleven nights while the pepper moved the same day. I had been blaming the gate clerk. The paper made the bay the subject.
The second sitting clarified the Lat Krabang line. I still wish the first draft had kept a forwarder we dropped in March; that name wasted a page. They struck it, and the paper in our office is the corrected one.
Three of our eight suppliers were late in a way I could describe to the owner without raising my voice. The other five were inside the window often enough that I stopped chasing them every Friday.
Eleven nights in bay four
Pim’s spice store receives through a door in Min Buri and keeps a small yard behind it. She asked for an Inventory Dwell Study because the daily count always looked “about the same” while the owner insisted the cinnamon was stuck. The arrival and exit sheets, once paired, showed pepper leaving the day it came in, and cinnamon lots sleeping in bay four. The bay was convenient for the forklift and inconvenient for the picker, so it became a waiting room nobody had named.
The sitting took longer than the hour we had booked, which she mentioned, fairly, because her clerk had to cover the door. The chart itself was what she pinned up. She did not ask us to move the rack. She asked the picker to stop using bay four as a shelf for “later”.
A forwarder who had already left
Wichai’s fittings workshop wanted a Lane Movement Reading for the Samut Prakan to Lak Si run. The first draft still carried a forwarder the workshop had dropped in March, because that name remained on two old promise lines. He was right to be annoyed: the page implied a relationship that was over. We struck the name, footnoted the two lines as historical, and issued the paper he now keeps beside the receiving stamp. The Lat Krabang chart stayed. The leftover name did not.
If your own records still mention a party you no longer use, say so in the briefing. We would rather omit them at the start than correct them in the sitting.
