Planned Downtime Example
Advanced Manufacturing runs two shifts during the week: Morning (6:00 AM to 2:00 PM), Afternoon (2:00
PM to 10:00 PM). They run one morning shift on Saturday. Overnight during the week and the rest of the
weekend is time they aren’t planning to be productive. They also close the plant during national holidays.
During each shift, every employee receives two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute meal break. During
those times, they do not expect that employee’s machine to be productive.
Adding Planned Downtime
When you add Planned Downtime, the method for adding it is similar to adding Shifts to the system and is
the same at each level (i.e., Company Site, Container and Welding Power Source). Always add Planned
Downtime at the highest level you can. If the downtime you want to enter applies to every welder in the
plant, add that Planned Downtime at the Company Site, not every individual Welding Power Source.
Figure 9.9 Planned Downtime Screen
To add Planned Downtime, click the Edit link next to the Company Site, the Container or the individual
Welding Power Source (Figure 4.18 on page 4.18), click the New Planned Downtime button, and complete
the fields for the downtime entry (Figure 9.9). Remember to save your changes. Table 9.4 explains the
fields in more detail.
