Report output, scrap, downtime and labor hours for each shift, line or cell.
A one-page production report per shift makes problems visible the next morning, not at month end.
Use labor hours from your time records so productivity numbers are real.
16 items. Complete it digitally or on paper, whichever your team prefers.
Night shift on line 2 produces 4,200 units against a 5,000 plan. The report shows 55 minutes of downtime from a jammed labeler, which maintenance fixes before day shift.
A shift report gives supervisors and the next shift one record of output, losses and problems, so issues are handled instead of rediscovered. The labor and overtime lines also tie production to payroll, which helps check that hours worked match hours paid.
| Line, date and shift | Line 3 burrito wrap, Tuesday February 10, day |
|---|---|
| Planned and actual | 9,000 planned, 8,250 good units |
| Scrap and rework | 180 scrap, 60 rework |
| Downtime | 9:40 to 10:05 am, film roll change ran long |
| Labor | 11 crew, 88 hours, 93.75 units per labor hour |
| Overtime | 0 hours |
| Handover | Film rolls staged at line 3 for night shift |
Sample for Sierra Foods in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Units per labor hour is 8,250 divided by 88, and the downtime reason is specific enough that the handover fixes it by staging rolls ahead.
The same fields can feed overall equipment effectiveness, a common measure that multiplies availability, performance and quality. Using the filled-in sample, with a 480-minute shift and an assumed ideal rate of 20 units a minute: availability is 455 ÷ 480 = 94.8%, performance is 8,490 units started ÷ 9,100 possible = 93.3%, and quality is 8,250 good ÷ 8,490 = 97.2%. OEE is about 86%. The ideal rate here is invented, so use the rated speed of your own line.
The shift lead.
It shows productivity across crews.
With start, end and reason codes.
Per shift.
Divide good units by the total labor hours worked on the line, including overtime. For example, 3,600 good units from 6 people working 8 hours is 3,600 divided by 48, or 75 units per labor hour.
No. Report actual output as good units and list scrap and rework separately, so together they add up to what was started. Counting scrap as output makes a shift look better than it was.
