Manage the thermal-container wash queue by status

Manage the queue from intake records, not arrival order alone.

Separate container states. At return, record spill, odour, residue and previous load by container ID.

Four working fields

• Queue class
• Arrival time
• Previous load
• Wash batch

Daily field record. Separate queue flows under procedure; link class, arrival time and wash batch. Track waiting by class.

The oldest unit is not always first; let recorded condition and procedure guide priority.
