Our Downtime report is the favorite among all our users and for one big reason: total transparency. At a glance, the Downtime report shows clearly why your machines are not working, as well as the top downtime reasons for the whole factory. The report gives all the information you need to clearly understand your availability.
Availability is the proportion of planned running time that is actually available for production. The losses related to availability include unplanned and planned stops.
The Downtime chart visualizes your production downtime reasons, whereas the color of each breakdown depends on the stop group it belongs to.
Using different colors to differentiate groups gives your team the possibility to immediately understand what issues contribute most to losses in availability. The numbers on top of the bars give an overview of how many times these stops have occurred.
Please find more information on how to use the x- and y-axis options here.
Everything you see on the chart is also shown in the data table, and some more. The table gives an overview of all downtime reasons during the selected time period, including the stop group they belong to, location, shift and their type.
In the data table:
Count - the exact number of occurrences.
Notes count - how many extra notes have been added to stop reasons. Also, the notes are accessible by clicking on the notes icon:
By using the drill-down feature you can narrow down your analysis to single stops where the dynamics of the stop reason are visualized in more detail.
