Finding, classifying, and shrinking the stops that eat your shifts — including the ones nobody writes down.
Every downtime tracking effort starts with clean sheets and good intentions. Six weeks later the logs say 'misc — 45 min.' The decay is predictable, which means it's preventable.
Every plant eventually has the meeting: does the changeover count against us? Does cleaning? The answers you pick decide what your OEE number is able to see — and what it hides forever.
A 30-second jam doesn't feel like downtime. It feels like part of the job. Multiply it by ninety occurrences a shift and it's your biggest loss — and it's completely absent from your records.
The six big losses sound like textbook material until you realize you can name a machine in your plant for every single one. A tour of all six, with the examples the textbooks leave out.
Tell us a bit about your plant floor and we'll show you EnicSoft OEE running on your own numbers.
