Private · Confidential · Operator-led
Overview
Performance loss rarely sits in one machine. It accumulates across planning, materials, settings, changeovers, cleaning, maintenance and the daily management system.
The review follows the loss to the point where it occurs, separates constraint from symptom and defines a short list of actions the site can own and verify.
