The batch card, on the screen at the mixing station instead of on a sheet of paper. Tap a job to open its card. Nothing on it is typed: every entry is a selection, so handwriting and spelling stop being part of the record.

11.2
580 batches over the last 52 weeks. A card is open for as long as the job runs, so the number of screens needed is the number of jobs running at once, not the number in a week.
Steps on a card
3 to 6
Charge the materials, work the routing, record the readings. A stearate has more steps than a one-pack because it is reacted and dried rather than blended.
Screens on the floor
4
The blending hall, the reactor hall, liquids and packing. A job only appears at the station it is routed to, so an operator sees the work in front of them and nothing else.
