The Six Big Losses show you the biggest factors that contribute to production losses by covering the most recurring reason codes and their cost implications of the top two performance, availability and quality losses each.
Upon careful analysis of the Six Big Losses table, you will be easily be able to spot any operational constraints, abnormalities, and recurring errors on a Line that need fixing, maintenance, or training.
