LINE

Seeing when the line stops, why, and for how long

Seeing when the line stops, and why.

On instinct

The reason for a stop is reconstructed from memory at the end of the shift. “Probably the die change again.” Which reason eats the most time is written down nowhere.

On measurement

A stop is logged the moment it begins, and its reason is picked from a list. The screen holds the total minutes behind each reason. Shifts are compared against one shared definition.

A typical first buildÖrnek · Sentetik

An illustrative first build: in a production workshop, a single line is chosen. Downtime reasons are defined with the shift supervisor under a small, fixed set of headings. On a tablet at the line, the operator starts the stop and picks its reason from the list. The screen totals the minutes under each heading. The measurement is set up on that line first, then carried to the others under the same definitions.

What data we start from

  • Line and station list

  • Shift plan and working hours

  • The downtime reasons already known

  • Output records (a hand-kept sheet is enough)

Acceptance measure

downtime cause is known by number
