Playbooks

The order of operations that pays

Each playbook pairs with a calculator: price the loss, then work the sequence.

The TEEPTRAK approach

Every playbook here starts with the same step: measured machine data.

Downtime, scrap and energy projects stall when they run on manual logs. TEEPTRAK gives each machine an automatic record of states, stops and output, so the first gains come from visibility and any later model has clean history to learn from.

A usable baseline within days, before any model is trained
Stop and micro-stop history with reasons: the raw material for maintenance and process projects
Results tracked on the same OEE figures the business case promised

Used in 700+ factories. At Hutchinson, OEE rose from 47% to 72%. Installed with a module wired into the electrical cabinet and a sensor at the edge of the line. No PLC changes. TEEPTRAK is not an MES: it measures, so you know what to fix first.
