Stop types

Every production 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 stop types are common between production stops and machine stops, enabling common reporting across both.

These stop types are valid for 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 scheduled time in OEE calculations:
  • No shift planned
  • Shutdown day
  • Break times that result in the machine being stopped, but are not counted as planned time
Breakdown
Downtime that requires maintenance intervention to resolve. If the operator selects a breakdown reason, then a maintenance request can be automatically raised using the maintenance functionality:
  • Broken belt
  • Motor failure
Setup
The downtime represents a setup period:
  • Tool change
  • Safety checks
Ramp up
The downtime represents a ramp up period.
