Don't Work on Line Number Two, Work on Line Number One
Show notes
Published September 26, 2026
Angad walks through why two lines down for the same ten minutes can cost you completely different amounts of money, and why downtime minutes alone hide the resultant losses. He talks about walking the floor hour by hour as a data analyst, how causal and resultant losses and cost buckets get mapped onto MES data, and what a prioritized loss tree changes in a war room. He also covers what happens to that prioritization when the underlying data isn't clean.
From the episode
“So even though they're both down for 10 minutes, forget about line two right now, work on line one.”
“To give you an example, if two lines go down for the same amount of time, they both could be costing you very differently.”
“The prioritization skews if the data is not good.”
