Among the biggest mistakes manufacturers make is not keeping key
equipment and processes running and making saleable product when
needed. This situation existed when the author Mike Beauregard
began working in manufacturing years ago and it currently remains
true in companies ostensibly focusing on Lean. To improve,
companies often rely on increasing productivity by making products
faster and with more automation, but many fail to focus on the area
in which they can get the biggest gains for their efforts – the
reduction of downtime. This book provides readers the techniques
they crucially need to keep their critical manufacturing equipment
running correctly and efficiently -- which increases production,
decreases labor costs, decreases breakdown costs, and ultimately
increases the bottom line. Downtime in production lines stems from
many sources. The contribution might be small for many of those
sources, but it adds up. Downtime and its causes then insidiously
become the norm, accepted, unseen by the workforce and the
management team. Most training courses and books look at a specific
cause of downtime – mainly, either product changeover (set-up
reduction) or breakdowns (TPM). This book addresses these two areas
and many other sources of downtime including how to decrease
downtime caused by supply chain issues, staffing issues, and
downtime internal to the processes themselves. In the final
chapter, the author covers how to manage the downtime reduction
effort – how to measure downtime, prioritize which downtime
sources to attack first, and monitor the improvement
