About Customer
An automobile parts manufacturer faced a significant challenge—persistent downtime during shift changes. The user operates 39 CNC machines, including turning centers, VMCs, and HMCs. These machines run in three work shifts of 8 hours each: 6 AM-2 PM, 2 PM-10 PM, and 10 PM-6 AM. Downtime issues across all shifts were causing reduced production and economic losses.
Problem
Production capacity waste of 12% due to machine downtime at shift change.

Leanworx’s specialized feature for CNC machine downtime monitoring at shift changes played a pivotal role. Daily reports detailing downtime during shift transitions were promptly emailed to the shop head each morning. After a period of observation, these reports were openly displayed on the shop notice board daily, exposing the shift change downtime for all machines
Results
Enhanced production capacity and savings of Rs. 15,60,000 per month, by reducing this downtime by 98%.
