Overview

The Facility Page provides Maintenance and Production Leadership with a high level view of all necessary equipment metrics in the following sections.  Equipment Overview, Unscheduled Maintenance by Equipment, Unscheduled Maintenance by Reason Codes, Maintenance Worker Hour Allocation, Equipment Maintenance Time, Maintenance Employee Status and Alerts.  Each will be detailed in this article, below.

Equipment Overview

The Equipment Overview section first displays each Equipment Type, with an option to expand, allowing users to drill deeper into specific equipment types, into individual equipment, and even reports on equipment by individual lane (station).  Below is an example view of this Equipment Overview portlet, with brief descriptions of each metric being reported on.

Navigation

• Initial view without any of the Equipment Types expanded - shown below

• To drill into a specific Equipment Type, click on the + symbol to expand. This will then display each individual piece of equipment within the specified Equipment Type – shown below.

• To expand further, down to individual lane by Equipment, click on the + symbol next to the respective equipment description – shown below.

• To view Maintenance Only equipment, select the drop-down and make the selection.
• Click the Include Critical Only field to unselect it.

NOTE: Maintenance Only equipment is equipment that is not utilized by a production employee (i.e. Boiler, Heat Exchanger, etc.)

• The date is defaulted to display Last Week data, however, it can be customized by clicking the Calendar icon, making the appropriate date selection and clicking Apply – shown below.

Equipment Overview KPI Descriptions

• OEE % (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) – identifies the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive by measuring Availability, Performance and Quality. However, in Spindle, we focus on the Availability and Performance only, and it is calculated using Availability X Performance.
• AV% (Availability) – the amount of Productive Time compared against the amount of scheduled time. Calculated as Productive Time / Scheduled Time.
• PR% (Performance) – the overall weighted employee efficiency.
• Equip Scheduled Time – the amount of time machine was scheduled to be staffed based on programmed equipment shift time. NOTE: This equipment scheduled time is takes the total of each lane. E. A 5-Lane Ironer scheduled to run 40 hours for the week would have 200 hours scheduled for the equipment (5 Lanes X 40 hours)
• Productivity – the actual amount of time the equipment was staffed, by lane.
• During Production – the time logged by maintenance employees for unscheduled (emergency) maintenance during the scheduled Production time
• Off Production – the time logged by maintenance employees for Non-Scheduled maintenance during Production time. The total time the Equip / Lanes were not available due to unscheduled maintenance.
• Scheduled Maintenance – the amount of time the equipment was in a scheduled maintenance status.
• Production Downtime – the amount of time the equipment was in a production downtime status.
• No Demand – The amount of time the equipment was available but not utilized due to no demand.

Production Downtime by Equipment / by Reason Codes

The Production Downtime section is separated into two categories – by Equipment and by Reason Codes.  The by Equipment section lists each individual piece of Equipment that has had Production Downtime over the past 13 weeks, while the by Reason Codes lists the specific Reason Codes selected by employees over the same 13 week period.  Both sections are broken out into 1, 5 and 13 week periods and report the % of Total Hours that Production Downtime occurred.

• Production Downtime – the amount of time the equipment was in a production downtime status.
• Equipment Issues (section on left) – lists each individual piece of equipment that has had time logged by maintenance workers.
• Reason Codes (section on right) – lists each individual reason code that has been logged by maintenance workers.
• Hours – the amount of time (HH:MM) the equipment was down for maintenance, either by Equipment or by Reason Code.
• % of Total – the percentage of time (HH:MM) the equipment was down for maintenance compared against the total unscheduled maintenance time. Calculated as:
  • Unscheduled Maintenance time by Equipment / Total Unscheduled Maintenance time
  • Unscheduled Maintenance time by Reason Code / Total Unscheduled Maintenance time
• Week 1 – The previous week’s total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)
• Week 5 - The past 5 weeks’ total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)
• Week 13 - The past 5 weeks’ total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)

Unscheduled Maintenance by Equipment / by Reason Codes

The Unscheduled Maintenance section is separated into two categories – by Equipment and by Reason Codes.  The by Equipment section lists each individual piece of Equipment that has had Unscheduled Maintenance performed over the past 13 weeks, while the by Reason Codes lists the specific Reason Codes selected by employees over the same 13 week period.  Both sections are broken out into 1, 5 and 13 week periods and report the % of Total Hours spent performing Unscheduled Maintenance Tasks.  This aides Maintenance and Production Leadership in identifying which equipment is being repaired most often, and for how long.

• Equipment Issues (section on left) – lists each individual piece of equipment that has had time logged by maintenance workers.
• Reason Codes (section on right) – lists each individual reason code that has been logged by maintenance workers.
• Hours – the amount of time (HH:MM) the equipment was down for maintenance, either by Equipment or by Reason Code.
• % of Total – the percentage of time (HH:MM) the equipment was down for maintenance compared against the total unscheduled maintenance time. Calculated as:
  • Unscheduled Maintenance time by Equipment / Total Unscheduled Maintenance time
  • Unscheduled Maintenance time by Reason Code / Total Unscheduled Maintenance time
• Week 1 – The previous week’s total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)
• Week 5 - The past 5 weeks’ total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)
• Week 13 - The past 5 weeks’ total Hours and % of Total listed by Equipment (section on left) or by Reason Code (section on right)

NOTE: SpindleLIVE Users can also drill deeper, into specific equipment by clicking on the respective Equipment description.  This will then navigate directly into the respective Equipment Page, which will be reviewed later in this guide.

Maintenance Worker Labor Hour Allocation

The Maintenance Worker Labor Hour Allocation section is a pie chart that breaks down your maintenance workers’ hours by time of maintenance being performed.

• NonScheduled Maint Emp Hrs – Total maintenance employee hours logged in Unscheduled/Emergency Maintenance tasks
• NonProductive Maint Emp Hrs – Total maintenance employee hours logged in NonProductive status (i.e. break, lunch, meeting)
• Scheduled Maint Emp Hrs – Total maintenance employee hours logged in Scheduled Maintenance tasks (i.e. Preventive Maintenance (PMs) and Work Orders)
• General Maint Task Emp Hrs - Total maintenance employee hours logged in General Maintenance tasks (i.e. Plant startup, Plant shutdown, etc.)

Equipment Maintenance Time

The Equipment Maintenance Time section separates total Unscheduled/Emergency and Scheduled Maintenance (PMs and Work Orders) logged hours, based on whether it happened During Production or Off Production.  

Maintenance Employee Status

The Maintenance Employee Status lists the Name, Equipment and current Status of each Maintenance Employee in Spindle.

NOTE: To drill deeper into a specific Maintenance Employee, for an overview of all task performed for the current day, click on the respective employee’s name.  This will then navigate directly into the respective Maintenance Employee Page, which will be reviewed later in this guide.

Alerts

The Alerts section provides alerting for key maintenance issues, such as Down for Maintenance, Pending Maintenance, Overdue PMs and Active PM Excessive Time.  The RED number indicator represents the amount equipment, or PMs, in the respective alerting status.  To drill deeper, click the + symbol to expand.

• To expand a specific Alert, click the + symbol icon – shown below

List of Alerts with description

• Pending Maintenance – Activates when there is equipment currently in a Pending Maintenance
• Down For Maintenance – Activates when there is equipment currently in a Down for Maintenance
• Overdue PMs – Activates when there are Scheduled Maintenance Tasks that have not yet been completed, and have passed their scheduled due date.
• Active PM Excessive Time – Activates when a Scheduled Maintenance Task is currently being worked, and has exceeded the allocated time (Target) for completion.
