To enter downtime events as a manager:

View Charts and Metrics:

Select the dashboard tab tab on the left and all of the charts will be displayed, click the generate report button to download a CSV file of the raw data

How to use the Dashboard:

1.Review the Uptime % chart in the upper left of the dashboard

2.Look for dips in performance (keep in mind the lower the data point, the more downtime experienced)

3.Look for patterns in the data (sawtooth or up/down pattern, trending up or down over time, etc.)

4.If the downtime is acceptable (under the defined standard) with no discernable pattern, check again later

5.If the downtime is unacceptable or patterns are obvious, a deeper dive is necessary

6.Document when the pattern began or when the downtime dropped below the standard

7.Continue to deeper analysis

Downtime Event by Code Chart:

1.Review the Downtime Event by Code in the upper right of the dashboard

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the most common downtime code will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance (or the appropriate team) to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

6. Slide the switch to exclude planned downtime

Note: The time horizon can be adjusted by selecting the drop down at the top of the chart

Downtime Hours by Code Chart:

1.Review the Downtime Hours by Code in the lower left of the dashboard

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the longest cumulative duration downtime code will appear first. Unknown means that operators have not yet categorized the downtime 

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance (or the appropriate team) to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

6. Slide the switch to exclude planned downtime

Note: The time horizon can be adjusted by selecting the drop down at the top of the chart

Downtime Hours by Line:

1.Review the Downtime Hours by Line on the left in the second row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the line with the most downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance (or the appropriate team) to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

6.This data can also be seen as Uptime in the chart at the bottom right, Uptime by Line

7. Slide the switch to exclude planned downtime

Downtime Hours by Machine:

1.Review the Downtime Hours by Machine on the right in the second row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the machine with the most downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance (or the appropriate team) to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

Downtime Hours by Operator:

1.Review the Downtime Hours by Operator on the right in the third row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the operator with the most downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to the supervisor (or the appropriate team) to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

Downtime Hours by Day:

1.Review the Downtime Hours by Day on the right in the third row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the day of the week with the most downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance, the supervisor, or the appropriate team to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

Maintenance Downtime Hours:

1.Review the Maintenance Downtime Hours by code type on the right in the fourth row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the code with the most cumulative downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance, the supervisor, or the appropriate team to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

Operations Downtime Hours:

1.Review the Operations Downtime Hours by code on the left in the fifth row

2.The chart is a Pareto meaning the code with the highest cumulative downtime hours will appear first.

3.If the first column (or the first 2-3) is substantially taller than the rest, it is an area of focus

4.Provide the information to maintenance, the supervisor, or the appropriate team to resolve the issue

5.If the columns are all similar in height, continue to deeper analysis

Maintenance Downtime Hours Trend Chart:

1.Review the Maintenance Downtime hours run trend chart on the right in the fifth row

2.The chart is a trend with downtime hours by day. To remove planned downtime, move the slider switch to the on position (turns blue)

3.The chart can be used to understand if maintenance downtime is increasing, decreasing or remaining the same over time

Operations Downtime Hours Trend Chart:

1.Review the Operations Downtime hours run trend chart on the right in the fifth row

2.The chart is a trend with downtime hours by day. To remove planned downtime, move the slider switch to the on position (turns blue)

3.The chart can be used to understand if operations downtime is increasing, decreasing or remaining the same over time

Uptime by Line:

1.Review the Uptime by Line on the bottom left

2.The chart is shown as a % of potential uptime

3.If any shift is below standard, provide the information to maintenance, the supervisor, or the appropriate team to resolve the issue

4.If none of these steps identify an area of concern OR the area of concern is not corrected, the downtime issue is more systemic and requires a process evaluation

Uptime by Shift:

1.Review the Uptime by Shift on the bottom right

2.The chart is shown as a % of potential uptime

3.If any shift is below standard, provide the information to maintenance, the supervisor, or the appropriate team to resolve the issue

4.If none of these steps identify an area of concern OR the area of concern is not corrected, the downtime issue is more systemic and requires a process evaluation
