The six big losses in manufacturing 1) Equipment Failure Defects and failures in equipment results in downtime, financial losses, variances in inventory and a lack of quality control. This scenario can play out for several reasons. It could be a result of unplanned downtime, no available operators and even a lack of raw materials. 2) Setup and adjustments As the name suggests this refers to when equipment is scheduled for production but is not running due to a changeover or other equipment adjustments.

4) Reduced speed This is when your equipment operates at a slower time than the ideal cycle time. ciencies through the better workflow of core manufacturing activities and secure a reduction in the ‘Six Big Losses’ in manufacturing. Thanks to legacy systems, manufacturers had no clear visibility into the manufacturing process and could not always tell where issues had arisen, or where the bottleneck was occurring. Now with MOM, manufacturers have a single source of data and in turn, full visibility of production. While MOM may seem like the obvious next step for manufacturers to optimise operations, many have been reluctant to move away from their traditional legacy systems. The reality is that the industry has reached an inflection point, where digital transformation and the need to fast track to a smarter factory is vital to remain competitive in the coming months. Manufacturers should ideally consider a MOM solution that adheres to world-class manufacturing standards and is importantly fully integrated into their ERP, to leverage a single

platform to monitor and improve factory performance. This will transform how an organisation manages people, equipment and processes to drive better business performance and strategic outcomes.

5) Process defects This refers to the need to account for defective parts produced during stable (steady state) production. 6) Reduced yield This refers to the defective parts produced from start up until stable (steady-state) production is reached.
