Users will be able to build downtime reports in the report builder. This allows for grouping by category as well as all of the other filters available to the report builder. The metrics will be limited to only the downtime-related metrics and have extra flexibility around the new grouping options and charts/graphs.

Measuring Results
The Downtime report provides the following information over the selected time period (as shown below)
Waiting: When viewing this report, a production shop has visability to see when "waiting" has occurred. Waiting refers to time that is spent when product is slowed or completely stopped.
Lean metrics visablity: When looking at these metrics, extracting the reasons why waiting is occuring because clearer. For example, a CNC Machine A may have a total downtime higher than CNC Machine B. This may because CNC Machine A has a new operator, is running a difficult part, or has another identified trigger. Once the reason is clear, a supervisor/manager can make the neccessary adjustments to reduct downtime
