Pareto Charts: Work Stoppages & Downtime in Manufacturing

[@nabihayousuf]

Working in an operations environment - I enjoy these lessons a lot as a refresher! Thank you!

[@Driveyoursuccess]

Great to hear!

I'm a production manager and I agree

Great explanation. Please advice if we have a pareto chart but it's not showing 80 - 20 principle, what should we do for next? Thank you

Excellent break down thanks I think I could teach a Pareto chart now great job

[@josiasmodiba90]

IJ you are the best. How do I convince my staff to record the downtime?

[@Driveyoursuccess]

Explain that you're doing it to reduce costs - not to penalize them. Ask for their help. Make them part of the process. Employees that feel part of what you're trying to accomplish will come forward with all kinds of suggestions.

Ian just been introduced to some of your work, excellent. Could you count days sickness if an operative is not available to work say for three days on the machine as a work stoppage. ?

charlie tindill No Sir. Always measure the process not the operator.

Why the graph if the chart shows the same thing? Isn’t that ‘waste’? What am I missing??

[@highperformancehumans]

How does the 80/20 rule apply here?? If I'm understanding correctly you've found 80% of the issues we should focus on as a manufacturing manager. Shouldn't the Pareto principle be used to find out where our 20% has the highest ability to affect throughput? Looking at this data why would we use the Pareto principle. It would seem apparent what categories we would need to focus on without any analysis.

[@Driveyoursuccess]

It is only a quick example - showing the idea behind the principle
