“Something urgent!” Lorren said solemnly. “I need to talk to you.”
“Alright, come over.” Abel replied, Tm in the backyard of my home.”
A few minutes later, Lorren arrived and knocked on the door. Abel opened it for him.
Lorren was holding a package, which he placed on the side table in front of Abel. The Chrome Group from Luminara requested standard automotive parts. 900,000 alloy three–hole nuts have all been produced.”
Abel furrowed his brow, his gaze intense, waiting for Lorren to explain why he brought a box of finished products.
“Where did the problem occur?” Abel asked seriously, his brow furrowing.
Lorren took out a nut from the box and removed the thin film wrapping, then took out a folded blueprint and handed it to Abel. “Take a look!”
Abel carefully examined the blueprint first, scanning over all the data, then he picked up the nut and observed it closely while flipping it. He couldn’t see any problem with it. However, his brow furrowed suddenly as he focused on the angle of the hole at the bottom of the nut.
The three holes of the nut consisted of one vertical hole in the middle and two holes above and below it with the same slope. However, the angle of this bottom hole seemed to deviate slightly from the angle of the top hole based on his intuition. Upon comparison with the blueprint, the slope of this third hole was slightly larger by about a millimeter. This was just Abel’s professional visual perception, but on the quality inspection line, this deviation of the hole was clearly visible.
“Was the data set too high on the assembly line?” Abel asked.
“No.” Lorren said. “The data is correct.
“It must be the modified equipment gradually deviating during operation, then?”
“Yes,” answered Lorren. “It was only this morning that I realized there was an error after seeing the extra finished products. Moreover, the goods sent by the warehouse two days ago have already arrived at the port in containers last night!”
Abel stood abruptly. “Notify the relevant personnel to intercept the goods at the port and prohibit them from being sent to Luminara!”
“It’s already too late! Lorren said gloomily. “I called the port. The goods have already left the being sent to Luminara.”
Abel frowned, picked up his phone, and dialed Alana’s number. “Book me a flight to Luminara. The sooner, the better!”
A few minutes later, Alana called. “Mr. Ryker, there’s a typhoon in Fortuna, and I’m uncertain about the flight schedule.”
