In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Production Downtime Root Causes focuses on identifying why production is halted, such as machine breakdowns, labor shortages, or material delays.

For example, if a breakdown occurs due to lack of preventive maintenance, the company can implement a better maintenance strategy. Reducing downtime improves throughput and increases production efficiency.
