Label bins with the job slug, not the part name

AssemblyA3563/5 confidence

What we learned

What worked

Reprinting bin labels with the job slug so two similar parts stopped looking alike on the rack.

What failed

Part names alone. Two customers had a part called a clevis and nineteen pieces went into the wrong bin.

War story

Ninety minutes of re sorting caused by a label. The slug is unique, the part name is not, and the rack does not care which one reads better.
