Every plant runs on three clocks.

There's money on all three, and each one hides it differently.

Every hour

Hourly

Short interval control

Minor stops and slow running, a few minutes at a time, adding up shift after shift.

Every day

Daily

Firefighting

The breakdown, the jam, the changeover that ran long. Visible, urgent, and often cheaper than it looks.

Every week

Weekly

Continuous improvement

The quiet losses that only show in the trend: giveaway, yield, a line running 10% under speed for months.

The loudest problem gets fixed first.

The most expensive loss is usually a quiet one: a line running slightly slow, a few minutes lost on every changeover. It waits while the fires take the people and the hours, and it keeps costing you the whole time.

The same six losses, sorted by urgency and by cost Sorted by urgency: filler jam, sheeter breakdown, metal detector rejects, changeover overrun, minor stops, fryer running slow. Sorted by annual cost: changeover overrun $184k, minor stops $121k, fryer running slow $96k, sheeter breakdown $61k, filler jam $38k, metal detector rejects $22k.
