One station down is the whole line down.

In an assembly plant the cost of a fault is set by where it happened, not by how big it was. Solmex records the station, the minutes and the cause together, so the maintenance argument is about the constraint rather than about the loudest machine.

Automotive

Minutes, at the station that lost them.

Downtime runs from the operator's report to the sign-off, and it is held against the asset that stopped. Because assets belong to zones and lines, the same figure rolls up to the station, the line and the plant without anybody re-entering it.

What it carries here03 STATIONS
STRUCTURE

Plant, line, station, asset

Zones are a real hierarchy on the register rather than a naming convention in a description field, so a question asked at line level is answered at line level.

JOB CARDS

Executed on the floor

A work order breaks into job cards a technician works through on a phone, ticking steps and attaching photos. The record is written while the job happens, not from memory at shift end.

PARTS

Issued against the station

A part leaving the shelf names the work order and the asset that took it, and posts its own cost. Consumption per station stops being a guess at the end of the quarter.

The constraint is visible, so it can be argued about.

Bring one line and a month of stoppages. Seeing them ranked by minutes lost is usually enough to start the conversation.
