SUMMARY
Use Stop Analytics to understand why production stops occur and identify the biggest contributors to downtime. Stop Analytics helps you prioritize improvement efforts by analyzing stop causes, durations, and trends.
WHAT THIS IS
- Stop Analytics is a collection of analytical views that help you investigate production downtime.
- It allows you to analyze recorded stops using visual reports such as Pareto charts, scatter plots, hourly charts, and detailed stop lists.
- These views help identify recurring stop causes and understand how downtime affects production performance.
WHY IT MATTERS
- Understanding why production stops occur is essential for reducing downtime.
- Stop Analytics highlights the largest sources of production loss, making it easier to prioritize improvement activities.
- Reviewing stop comments alongside stop data provides additional context for root cause analysis.
WHEN YOU WOULD USE THIS
Use this when:
- Investigating recurring downtime.
- Identifying the largest production losses.
- Reviewing operator comments on stops.
- Prioritizing continuous improvement activities.
HOW IT WORKS
- Factbird records production stops and their associated stop causes.
- Stop Analytics presents this information through multiple visualizations, allowing you to analyze downtime from different perspectives.
- Filters can be applied to narrow the analysis by line, period, product, batch, shift, or stop category.
-
If Factbird View is installed, recorded stops can also be linked directly to video footage for additional investigation.
KEY TERMS / COMPONENTS
Pareto Chart
- Displays stop causes ranked by their contribution to downtime.
Scatter Plot
- Shows the relationship between stop duration and frequency.
Hourly Chart
- Displays when stops occur throughout the day.
Stop List
- Lists individual recorded stops and their details.
Stop Comments
- Operator-entered information explaining the reason for a stop.
COMMON MISUNDERSTANDINGS
- Stop Analytics analyzes recorded stops; it does not detect stops itself.
- Multiple charts display the same stop data in different ways to support different types of analysis.
- Factbird View integration is optional.
