Downtimes

Downtime can be planned for a machine or work center. The cause of the downtime can be due to various interrupt reasons: Maintenance, staff, electrical, material, tools,... Staff can be needed during the downtime (for example, to carry out maintenance).

No downtime can be planned on an external work center.
  • Downtime IS calculated in the OEE figures!
  • Unavailability is NOT calculated in the OEE figures! See Plan an unavailability.
  • Downtime can only be planned for the future!
  • Downtime in the past will disappear from the Gantt diagram.
