A large pile of scrap wooden planks and boards is stacked haphazardly on a paved surface, with a single long wooden plank standing upright in front of the pile. Behind the wood, white sacks and cardboard boxes are visible, along with other discarded materials. The ground is made of interlocking paving stones, and a small blue object lies on the pavement near the bottom right.

Reclaimed wood reaches the carpenter for our first frame batch

Facilitated by Vivek V

Input

What went in
Reclaimed wood, cut-to-size recyclable acrylic sheets and recyclable foam backing sheets. The supplier has confirmed that both sheet materials are recyclable.
Outside help
Mr. Jacob is the carpenter making the frames. A supplier is preparing the acrylic sheets in the required sizes.

Activity

We delivered the reclaimed wood to our carpenter, Mr. Jacob, as we prepare for the first production batch of Preamble frames. The recyclable acrylic sheets have been ordered, but cutting them to the required sizes will take two more days. They are expected to arrive together with the recyclable foam backing sheets, after which production can begin.

Outcome

The reclaimed wood has reached the carpenter. Production is awaiting the acrylic and foam backing sheets, expected in two days.

Learnings

Getting the wood to the carpenter is only one part of preparing for production. Cutting the acrylic sheets needs extra time, so material orders and delivery dates need to be coordinated before work can begin.
