Matched sources

## A downtime total does not explain lost capacity

Stops, blocked stations and slow recovery affect the whole line. Review the cause and sequence before changing staffing or production targets.

### Business records

MES orders, machine events and shift production records

◉

### Physical evidence

blocked stations, restarts, material supply and work-cell handoffs

## Bottleneck & root cause analysis

Group recurring blocked states by station, product and shift to prioritize improvement.

- **Responsible owner:** Production supervisor

- **Action for approval:** approve recovery steps, material supply and work-cell balancing

- **What the team verifies:** Blocked and starved time at constrained stations

- **Operating comparison:** the next comparable product run

How it works

## One operating question. A complete path to action.

Fortune AI matches records with physical evidence and proposes an improvement. Your team approves the action and assigns its owner before the next comparable operation.
