Basic Utilisation Monitoring

Using a simple threshold on station productivity to identify prolonged periods of stoppage, without the need to input production schedules.

Benefit

Identify and rectify unnecessary equipment stoppages.

Setup

For each station to be monitored, set a utilisation downtime threshold. This is the minimum number of minutes that should be considered as excessive downtime of the station.

If you do not intend on inputting production schedules, ensure the setting 'Assume All In Shift Time is Planned Production' is set to true.

Daily Workflow

1. Ensure a Non Production Schedule is entered for any stations that aren't planned to run to prevent downtime being wrongly recorded.

2. Busroot will automatically detect downtime based on the utilisation threshold settings.

3. Production manager will receive a notification that the station is stopped.

4. Operator or production manager will attribute a cause for the stoppage.

5. During team meetings, the previous days downtime reasons are reviewed and discussed.
