Eight cases. One. "Backflush is not consuming material." Supply type set to push. Two. "The work order takes three weeks for a two-day job." Setup time on a per-unit basis — the arithmetic from the resources lesson, arriving as a schedule nobody can believe. Three. "Standard cost is consistently below actual." Missing components, or missing yield — the structures module and this one together, which is why it is hard to find: neither module alone looks wrong. Four. "Operators say the route is wrong."
