When dealing with multiple machine breakdowns, prioritization is key to minimizing operational disruption. Here’s how I approach it: # Any machine that poses a safety risk if left unchecked gets top priority. # Next, I assess which machines are most critical to the production line. # The machines that cost the most in terms of lost productivity or sales come next. # If I can get a high-impact machine back online quickly, it might make sense to prioritize that. # If parts or technical skills for a particular machine are readily available, it can speed up the repair, making it a more immediate priority. It’s always a balancing act, but this approach helps ensure that safety, production, and costs are all factored into the decision.

When several machines break down, prioritize based on their importance to production, how they affect deadlines, and safety concerns. Focus on critical machines that directly impact output, have high downtime costs, or can be fixed quickly with available parts. This helps minimize delays and maintain smooth operations.

I have had some of these instances and generally we are prioritizing repairs based on: Identify machines whose failure directly impacts production flow and meet deadlines. Evaluate how the breakdown of each machine affects overall productivity and output efficiency. Prioritize repairs for machines that are used most frequently or are vital for daily operations. Employing a combination of these strategies helps in effective decision-making for repairs.

Prioritisation logic : 1) Machines having any direct / indirect impact on people / process safety 2) Equipment’s critical for product quality delivery 3) Know your bottlenecks clearly across all lines and prioritise those impacting demand fulfilment the highest for your customers(business critical lines with very high asset utilisation levels )

This is a situation that should be planned for. This is a risk that can be mitigated for the most part. In general, you prioritize the machinery in a ranked system. One I have used is as follows: A-shuts down the entire plant or an entire set of lines; B-Shuts down one line totally with no production possible; C-shuts down one line with some production possible while awaiting repairs; D-shuts down not critical equipment. These priorities should be the ones used to develop maintenance and repair plans. For example at one company, there was a A of equipment that could not be pm'd in a remote place. A spare was kept in a cabinet adjacent to the installed. Once the control room operators saw the fault, maintenance was dispatched to replace.
