Matt,
I have instructed our supervisors to pay attention to this on a daily
basis. I just would like a method for myself to monitor as well.
Looking at the canned efficiency reports, I do not see immediately how
to pick this up. Which report do you use? I would optimally like a
machine efficiency report.
