Study
Stop-code and shift-log review
A desk review of the stop codes and shift notes you already keep, before anyone spends a week on the floor.
Who it is for
Factories with reasonably complete logs that want a first reading of lost hours before committing to an on-site study.
What you take away
A short visual note: which codes dominate, which look duplicated, and where the logs are too thin to trust.
Scope
One plant’s logs for a defined period, usually four to eight weeks.
Included
- A structured reading of stop codes, comments, and planned-versus-running time
- Charts of hours by reason and by shift
- A written list of gaps that would mislead a later visit
Not included
- Floor observation
- Cleaning or rewriting your coding system as a software project
Who attends
Content Crafthub study lead.
How it runs
Secure transfer of extracts, clarifying call, draft charts, final note.
Time
Usually eight to twelve working days, depending on how the extracts arrive.
Where
Carried out from our Worcestershire office; a short call with the production office is included.
What to prepare
Exports or scans of logs with a key to your stop codes. Spreadsheets are fine; handwritten books need photographs of a complete week.
Limits
We cannot invent missing times. Incomplete books are reported as such.
Fees
Fixed fee for a defined volume of records, quoted after we see a sample week. See the fees page for day rates and starting figures.
Next step
Send a sample week of logs and the code list.
