Why Short Stops Are the Silent Killer of Throughput

Ask a team about downtime and they will name the big breakdowns. Ask the data, and it often tells a different story.

Small, but relentless

A short stop lasts seconds, but it can repeat hundreds of times a shift. Added up, these micro-stops frequently outweigh all planned downtime combined.

Why they hide

Short stops slip beneath manual logging entirely. Nobody writes down a ten-second stall, so the loss never reaches a report.

Making them visible

Capturing every stop automatically reveals the real pattern behind the losses. Only then can a team attack the root cause instead of chasing the occasional headline breakdown.
