Routing

Service centre

This job’s stock weighs 46.1 kg, over the 25 kg a cut-to-size supplier takes first, so it goes to a service centre.

On the request

BR-26-0852: A job this size buys best from a service centre by the bar or plate, cut to size.

The rule

Small orders near the shop go to a cut-to-size supplier first, up to 25 kg. Heavier jobs and expedites go to a service centre.
