Most of our horizon flavored milk is run from one processor into two steritanks and on to five out of the six prisma fillers. In these runs, once all of the product is processed, usually one steritank takes longer than the other to run out, although presumably the goal is to have it all end at once. I feel like I would need to draw a diagram in order to explain how this works, but basically we end up doing more work if the tanks don't even out and one ends while the other is still full.
It is extraordinarily rare for both steritanks to empty at the same time.
Last night, I had two steritanks of horizon chocolate. They had the same codedate. But, they were run through two different processors, making them two completely separate runs requiring two completely separate audits. Meaning twice as much work all night long.
The two steritanks ended their runs within ten minutes of each other.
Thus, requiring three times the work of a normal horizon audit...
...Twenty minutes before the end of my shift.
Lovely.
