Machine Downtime & Unplanned Stoppage Cost Tracker

Utilization & OEE Reporting

Machine Downtime & Unplanned Stoppage Cost Tracker

Log every unplanned machine stoppage by reason code, run a Pareto of the causes that eat the most minutes, and compute availability per machine — then convert those lost minutes into a dollar figure so a downtime discussion becomes a budget decision. Availability is calculated from scheduled time minus your logged downtime; the cost layer multiplies lost minutes by a cost-per-minute rate you enter yourself. The workbook carries no benchmark downtime rate and no industry cost figure — every number in it comes from your shop and your assumptions.
