For the Sweetheart Rope Machine that I work at, we always have a material handler to help us out with any materials that we have. On this day, the material handler was on vacation, and so we were given a material handler that doesn't usually work back there. On this given day, we had a major jam from the warehouse all the way to our packaging machine on the conveyor. Usually when this happens, we are told to continue running the machine and just put the packages on the side while the material handler unclogs the jam. We got to the point where we didn't have anywhere else to put the packages, and the material handler was having a tough time unclogging it. So I told my group partner and the mechanic to look after the machine while I went to go help the material handler unclog the jam. After we finished unclogging it, we continued with our normal operations.
