In the production process, minor disruptions often occur due to waiting for materials to run, delay in restarting machines after the disruption, equipment misalignment, or jam-ups. These are the common small stops that we have been focusing on.Some advance processes have built-in functions that detect the cause of these stops. These systems may rely on Stack light indicator or internal controller like PLCs to detect error codes related to the disruption. Why are these small stops important?
