Stop types
Every machine stop reason has an associated stop type which can be used as another categorization for reporting or for deciding which downtime periods to use in KPIs, for example, OEE.
Some of the line stop types are common between production stops and machine stops, enabling common reporting across both.
These stop types are valid for machine stops and production stops:
- Planned
- Downtime periods where the line or an individual machine is not planned to run:
- Maintenance
- Training session
- Union meeting
Note: Planned downtime periods do not affect the availability of the machine. - Unplanned
- Downtime periods where the line or machine is planned to run but is not running:
- No materials
- No labor
- Power outage
- Excluded
- Downtime periods which are excluded from the planned busy time in OEE
calculations:
- No shift planned
- Shutdown day
- Breakdown
- Downtime that requires maintenance intervention to resolve. If the operator selects
a breakdown reason, then they are presented with the option to raise a maintenance
request using the maintenance functionality.
- Broken belt
- Motor failure
- Setup
- The downtime represents a setup period:
- 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:
- Out-of-spec measurement recorded
- Defect detected
- Pallet is isolated
- Technical
- A machine stop that is inherent to the process:
- In-feed jam
- Light barrier broken
- Running slow
- The machine is not actually stopped, but it is running at a slow speed.
