To measure if machine is running efficiently you need to calculate the average rate that a machine is operating at, be that kilos per hour, packs per minute etc. To be able to do this accurately you must record all down time, be it down time due to break downs, changeovers, staff rest periods or unavoidable down time that is actually part of your process, just as changing machine parts, wash downs, roll changes etc.
