What is the “Type of Fault” in a downtime issue?
Type of Fault refers to the broad root cause category of the issue. It helps you identify which aspect of the production process is responsible.
Type | Description | Example |
Man | Human-related issue | Operator absent, untrained staff |
Machine | Equipment failure | Bearing failure, overheating |
Material | Input shortage or defect | No RM issued, defective lot |
Method | Process-related problem | Wrong job setup, missing SOP |
This classification is useful for high-level root cause analysis and responsibility assignment.
