Seed prompt · from the issue

A retailer pulled its spring promotion forward a week: 2,400 cases of the variety pack now ship Friday.
Line 4 runs it tonight, starting with a cartoner changeover at 10:00 PM.
No one on Line 4's night crew is certified to change over the cartoner.

ThinkingChecking who is certified on the cartoner

Thought for 3s

The promotion only ships Friday if tonight's run starts on time. Let me find someone certified to change over Line 4's cartoner.
