Where did Line 2 lose output this shift? Finishing is holding the next handoff. Review the camera evidence, the measured stage cycle time, and the next action: rebalance the finishing handoff.

FAQ
Questions before measuring production flow.
Counting points, transfer waits, product mix, and evidence behind a throughput change.
Discuss your site's requirementsGeneral questions & other industriesWhy is output low when the line looks busy?
Separate visible processing time from waiting between stages. Compare transfer intervals and completed units at agreed counting points. Fortune AI supplies the corresponding clips so a team can distinguish a slow process from work waiting for its next handoff.
What to measureCompleted units and transfer-wait minutes by stage and comparable shift.
Which handoff should we improve first?
Review repeated queues immediately before a stage and whether the downstream station is available. Rank recurring waiting intervals, not just the longest single incident. Confirm material and maintenance context with the responsible team before assigning a cause.
What to measureRepeated wait duration, downstream availability, and the affected output interval.
Did changing the production sequence increase throughput?
Keep the unit definition, product mix, and shift length comparable. Measure the same counting points before and after the change, and record changeovers and missing footage. More movement is not the same as more completed output.
What to measureUnits per observed production hour, with exclusions and sample size reported.
What scope and privacy requirements should we agree on?
Agree on the work, waiting, transfer, and completion definitions and observation period with the site team. Comparisons of staffing and output require aligned shift and production records.
