Stop types

Every reason for a machine stop is associated with a specific stop type, which can be used to categorize downtime for reporting purposes. This is particularly useful when calculating KPIs, such as OEE. Some stop types are shared between production and machine stops, which allows unified reporting across both categories.

These stop types are applicable for machine stops and production stops:

Planned

Downtime periods when the production line or a specific machine is not scheduled to operate. For example:

• Maintenance
• Training session
• Union meeting

Note: The planned downtime periods do not impact the machine's availability.

Unplanned

Downtime periods where the line or machine is planned to run, however, is not running. For example:

• No materials
• No labor
• Power outage

Excluded

Periods of downtime not included in the planned active time for (OEE) calculations. For example:

• No shift planned
• Shutdown day

Breakdown

Downtime that requires maintenance intervention to resolve. If an operator selects a breakdown reason, the operator can also raise a maintenance request using the maintenance functionality. For example:

• Broken belt
• Motor failure

Setup

The downtime indicates a period required for a machine setup. For example:

• Tool change
• Safety checks

Procedural

A machine stop is due to procedures not being followed.

Quality

A machine stop is due to a quality issue on the line. For example:

• Out-of-spec measurement recorded
• Defect detected
• Pallet is isolated

Technical

A machine stop that is inherent to the process. For example:

• In-feed jam
• Light barrier broken

Note: An operator can resolve these issues independently.

Running slow

The machine is running at a slow speed.
