I. Conduct a Downtime Analysis
Conduct a thorough investigation into the downtime event to identify its root causes, analyze the impact on production, and gather relevant data and insights. This step involves reviewing operational records, conducting interviews with personnel involved in the downtime, and examining equipment performance metrics. The objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of what happened during the downtime and why it occurred. This analysis will inform corrective actions and recommendations for process improvements to prevent similar events from happening in the future. It also helps to identify any systemic issues or potential areas of vulnerability within the production process.
