Production note unforeseen events make you POOR

For example…
The machine broke . The machine operator goes to the system, makes a note indicating a machine breakdown. At the same time that he informs the system, the person responsible for maintenance receives an email or sms with the information that there was a machine breakdown. Interesting, isn't it? The person who will solve the problem knows what happened, exactly when it happened.

It's very different than knowing the next day. Let's assume that the machine operator does not have the contact person responsible for maintenance. Thus, he PHONE NUMBER LIST writes down the machine breakdown on paper, to be typed into the system only the next day. In this way, the machine is stopped 24 hours a day because of a breakdown, while the person in charge of maintenance, knowing that the problem could be solved in less than an hour, solves it in real time.

Financial loss
In the mental map we mention two problems ( machine breakdown and lack of raw material), but there are many others that cause machine downtime. By knowing when the problem happens, you can anticipate the resolution of the problem.

I will simplify to calculate your financial loss. Let's take the hourly rate of your machine and you can reflect on how many hours of machine downtime you have per month, which could be reduced if the person responsible for solving the problem knew in real time.

Giving a different example, let's talk about the lack of a CNC program . The CNC programmer immediately receives the information. He could only make the program available the next day or a few hours later, but he finds out about it when the machine stops.

Reflects
Gather your team, hold a meeting with the “team”, if you don't have this data yet, and make an estimate of how long your machine is down because the people who are going to resolve the downtime take a while to know that the problem has happened.
