Use root cause analysis to approve line balancing changes, then verify throughput on the next comparable 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.  Illustrative application · Original AI-generated visual - 01 First operation Batch reports hide the time between completion, transfer and restart. See where work accumulates before adding labor or equipment. - 02 Later team review Production planning lead · approve batch release, transfer timing and line balancing - 03 Next comparable operation Verify cycle time, work-in-process dwell and throughput after the approved change. Connected workflow ## From source records to an accountable next move. - ▤ Business records batch plans, completion events and labor schedules - ◉ Physical evidence work-in-process dwell, transfer delays and downstream restarts - ✧ Review the AI recommendation Production planning lead · approve batch release, transfer timing and line balancing - ✓ Verify the outcome Work, processing and waiting by stage ## Explore the operating detail Start with the result ## A completed stage can leave the next stage waiting Batch reports hide the time between completion, transfer and restart. See where work accumulates before adding labor or equipment.  CAM 07 · LINE 2 Cycle event matched Live measurement ### Connect each stage into one production timeline - 01 Observe Measure work, waiting, transfer, and completion - 02 Connect Follow material and work-in-process between stages - 03 Compare Return lost time by stage, shift, and event Production measure ready every shift From signal to action ## See which stage held back output Use the result to rebalance labor, reduce work-in-process dwell, or change handoffs [01 Where did Line 2 lose output this shift?

Fortune AI ### Work waited before finishing In this example, completed work queued for finishing between 13:08 and 14:16 - **Queue dwell:** 34m - **Transfer waits:** 26m - **Rework holds:** 14m You What does the footage show? Fortune AI ### See the handoff before the delay Review when work left the previous stage, how long it waited, and when finishing started  Sample camera view Exact footage stays attached to each reviewed event You What should we review for the next shift? Fortune AI ### Check coverage at finishing At a later review, the production lead approves finishing coverage. Compare waiting and output on the next similar run.
