Formulating new focus groups to discuss countermeasures. Lead to an increase in both the amounts of reports and action closure.• Developed Fault Finding guides (troubleshooting) on key machines to reduce downtime, and used as a training tool• Implemented a fault-finding flipbook to aid shift workers in methodically troubleshooting machines. The completed form could then be attached to work order documents to show the technicians thought process and actions for later review. Show less
