Idling and Minor Stops
OEE performance loss caused by frequent short interruptions that do not normally require major repair.
Examples
- 01On the packaging line, idling and minor stops of 30 to 90 seconds add up to 55 minutes per shift.
- 02The weekly review tracks idling and minor stops by cause, with jammed cartons at the top.
- 03After the carton guides and sensor positions are adjusted, idling and minor stops drop by half and the line gains 25 minutes per shift.
