🌟 Key Takeaways
• Factories without real-time machine visibility often carry hidden costs from downtime and overtime.
• Inconsistent production reports indicate unreliable production data.
• High overtime without increased output signals inefficient resource utilization.
• Machine Monitoring is a foundational system for modern factories, not an optional add-on.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Many factories believe they already have good production control based on experience and existing reports. However, deeper analysis often reveals hidden costs from downtime, overtime, and inaccurate planning. If your factory shows the following signs, it may be time to seriously consider implementing a Machine Monitoring System.

🔷 No Real-Time Machine Status Visibility
If checking machine status still requires walking the shop floor, making phone calls, or waiting for end-of-shift reports, it means you learn about machine stoppages too late. Every minute without real-time visibility translates directly into increased costs.
Common signs include frequent machine stoppages with no clarity on which machine stopped first, and problems being addressed only after they occur.

🔷 Production Reports Never Match
When data from production, planning, and management teams never aligns, the root cause is usually manual recording or Excel-based tracking. This leads to inaccurate capacity planning, excess inventory, or delayed deliveries.

🔷 High Overtime but No Increase in Output
This is a classic sign of a factory that works hard but not efficiently. The core issue is the lack of visibility into where actual production time is being lost. Key questions often go unanswered:
Why do machines stop? How often? And are the same machines stopping repeatedly?

🔷 Inability to Separate Downtime from Setup Time
Many factories know machines stop but cannot distinguish whether the stoppage is due to manpower delays, setup activities, or actual machine failures. Without proper classification, corrective actions will always miss the real problem.

🔷 Managers Rely on Experience More Than Data
Experience is valuable, but it is no longer sufficient in an era of continuously rising production costs. Competitive factories must support decisions with real shop-floor data to achieve measurable improvement.

📘 Summary
If your factory exhibits more than two of these five signs, Machine Monitoring is no longer optional. It is a foundational system for reducing costs, controlling production, and improving competitiveness.
