Idle Time Analysis

Idle Time Analysis

The effective minimization of idle time represents a key success factor for production efficiency. A structured analysis and methodical optimization of downtime enables sustainable improvement of equipment productivity.

Downtime Analysis

Systematic recording and categorization of stoppages:

  • Planned maintenance interruptions with scheduled service intervals
  • Unplanned machine breakdowns requiring immediate response
  • Setup and changeover times between production runs
  • Material flow-related waiting periods affecting throughput
  • Personnel-related interruptions impacting productivity

Performance Monitoring

Integration of quantitative performance indicators:

  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measuring total productivity
  • Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) tracking reliability
  • Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) assessing maintenance efficiency
  • Setup time analysis evaluating changeover effectiveness
  • Utilization rate monitoring ensuring optimal capacity use

Optimization Methodology

Structured implementation of improvement measures:

  • SMED methodology reducing setup and changeover times
  • Predictive maintenance systems preventing unplanned downtime
  • Automated material provision minimizing logistics delays
  • Standardized maintenance processes ensuring consistency
  • Quick-response mechanisms addressing immediate issues

Digital Integration

Implementation of modern analysis tools:

  • Real-time monitoring systems providing instant feedback
  • Automated downtime recording ensuring accurate data
  • Predictive analytics forecasting potential failures
  • IoT-based condition monitoring enabling proactive maintenance
  • Digital Twin technology optimizing process parameters

Quality Assurance

Systematic control of optimization measures:

  • Standardized documentation maintaining process records
  • KPI-based performance tracking measuring improvements
  • Continuous improvement processes driving optimization
  • Regular effectiveness analyses validating measures
  • Employee training ensuring best practice implementation
