On a manufacturing floor, there are four words that no one wants to hear and that change everything: the line is down. That’s what incident management is supposed to catch before it costs you. Output stops, and the clock starts ticking. For manufacturing, MTTR, the average time it takes to fix something once it breaks,...
A machine operator notices the barcode scanner acting up. It’s not enough to stop the line, so they flag a supervisor and keep working. No ticket gets filed. No record exists anywhere.
