Find and Fix the Root Cause of Your Costliest Breakdowns
The Augos Unplanned Stoppage Analysis report provides a detailed breakdown of all unexpected downtime, including equipment failures and unscheduled stops. It is designed to analyse the patterns, frequency, and resolution efficiency of these events to reveal where process or maintenance changes will lead to the biggest gains in uptime.
Isolate Logistical Drag, Not Just Technical Failure
Unplanned stoppages are frequently the most expensive form of downtime. This report allows you to pinpoint where production interruptions happen most often, assess how effectively they are handled, and determine if your maintenance interventions are both timely and efficient. It provides the data to distinguish between a complex technical fix and a simple logistical failure, like waiting for parts, helping you understand overall downtime and address systemic bottlenecks.
Our 4-Step Process to Diagnose Equipment Failures
A proven methodology to analyze and prevent unplanned breakdowns
Filter the Data
Begin by using the dropdown menus to select a specific stoppage reason, year, and month to investigate.
Visualise Stoppage Reasons
Interact with the Stoppage Reasons chart. Clicking on the bars allows you to drill down to the final level of detail, which is displayed as a lollipop chart showing individual stop events.
Analyse Specific Dimensions
From there, navigate to the different tabs to analyse performance by Month, Operator, Technician, or Product. Each section offers detailed tables and charts to identify trends.
Investigate Individual Events
For the most granular view, go to the Event Details table, which lists every single unplanned stoppage event individually for in-depth review.
Key Unplanned Stoppage Metrics Explained
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
The average time that passes between consecutive stoppages caused by the same specific issue.
Operator Evaluation Time
The time it takes for an operator to assess an unplanned breakdown and then decide to call for technical assistance.
Operator Resolution Time
The time it takes for an operator to assess an unplanned breakdown and successfully resolve it themselves, without technical assistance.
Technician Response Time
The time elapsed between an operator's call for assistance and the technician's arrival at the machine.
Active Wrench Time
The total duration during which a technician is actively engaged in hands-on maintenance or repair tasks.
Inactive Wrench Time
The period when a technician is on-site but is unable to proceed with active maintenance, often due to waiting for parts or external assistance.
Turn Your Maintenance Team into a Proactive Powerhouse
Move from a reactive "break-fix" cycle to a proactive, data-driven maintenance strategy. This report provides the insights you need to identify recurring problems, optimise your support processes, and address the systemic bottlenecks that truly impact your productivity.
