Spindle hours loss log

A log sheet, a row for each machine and shift. Columns: job number, planned hours, then booked hours under setup, waiting for material, programme proving, inspection queue, breakdown and other. A final row totals each reason, and a box at the bottom records the single cause chosen for the next two weeks.
