Schedule Breaker

Unplanned job that disrupts the frozen maintenance schedule because it requires immediate priority.

Examples

  1. 01A conveyor failure that must be fixed immediately is a schedule breaker that pushes back three planned jobs.
  2. 02The weekly maintenance review counts schedule breakers and checks whether each one was really urgent.
  3. 03When schedule breakers fall from 15 to 5 per week, schedule compliance improves and planned work is done on time.
