TURN SHIFT DATA, DELAYS AND OUTPUT INTO A CLEARER PICTURE OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE.
The RIS Productivity Gap Analysis Toolkit gives industrial, mining and construction teams a structured way to measure productive loss instead of relying on assumptions.
Set the operating parameters. Capture delays and production output. Calculate OEE. Then break downtime down by cause to see where improvement efforts should be focused.
MEASURE THE PERFORMANCE. FIND THE GAP. FOCUS THE IMPROVEMENT.

Production can be moving while productive time is quietly disappearing.
Equipment failures, planned maintenance, material handling, operator delays, weather, changeovers and other interruptions can accumulate across a shift—without any
single event looking like the real problem.
Without a consistent way to capture and categorize those losses, improvement efforts can end up focused on what gets noticed instead of what costs the operation the most productive time.
THE BIGGEST DELAY ISN'T ALWAYS THE BIGGEST GAP. MEASURE IT BEFORE YOU CHASE IT.
Define the operating parameters the analysis will use.
Record production, operating time and delays using consistent delay categories.
Turn the shift data into Availability, Performance, Quality and overall OEE.
Break downtime down by cause and identify where lost productive time is accumulating.
Set the baseline operating parameters used throughout the analysis.
Create consistent categories for the delays and losses occurring during the shift.
Capture operating time, downtime, production output and the conditions behind the loss.
Calculate Availability, Performance, Quality and overall OEE from the recorded shift data.
Break downtime down by cause and see where lost productive time is accumulating.
Turn shift performance and production losses into information that can support better operational decisions.
See recurring delays and understand where lost productive time is accumulating across the shift.
Use consistent performance data to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities.
See how equipment-related downtime contributes to the overall productivity gap.

A structured Excel toolkit designed to move from operating inputs to measurable productivity analysis.
Capture production, operating time and downtime using consistent delay categories.
Calculate Availability, Performance, Quality and overall OEE from your operating data.
Break lost time down by cause so the biggest productivity gaps are easier to identify.
FORMAT — Microsoft Excel workbook
DELIVERY — Digital download
USE — Editable for your organization
ANALYSIS — OEE & downtime by cause
Results depend on the accuracy and consistency of the operating data entered. OEE and productivity measures should be interpreted in the context of your equipment, process and operating environment.
