What's your most unhinged reason for downtime? Eric Whitley tells a story from his manager days where they had a welder down for an entire night because... ...they didn't know if maintenance had fixed the problem. Not a prohibitive fix. Not waiting on parts. Not understaffed. Simply a communication problem. Sometimes our reasons for downtime are as simple as a bad handoff, and sometimes they're much more complex. The solution is having tools and systems in place to the problem AND how you communicate about it.
