How to use the library

Start with the first uncontrolled condition.

If the product is unstable, begin with pack format and transfer questions. If machines do not stop or restart together, begin with the interface specification. If a line loses output during short stops, use the accumulation calculation. Keep the evidence from each answer in one controlled conveyor brief.

The library complements the existing selection guide, quote checklist, layout checklist and sample-trial guide.
