Failure-history reconstruction

Some plants know a gearbox is “always trouble” and cannot say whether that means four stops last winter or fourteen. This engagement is the slower reading of the drawer: we transcribe, match ticket language to assets, and draw the repeats so a planner can see them without rereading every carbon copy.

Who it is for

A planner who has inherited a cabinet, a new supervisor who does not trust the stories, or a stores lead who keeps buying the same bearing without a count of how often it fails.

What you receive

A reconstructed timeline for the agreed machines, a short dictionary of how the same failure was spelled on different tickets, and a list of gaps (months with no tickets, assets that appear under three names). We do not interpret vibration or oil in this engagement unless those sheets are needed only to date a stop.

What stays out

We do not walk the whole hall, write an outage sequence, or tell you which spare to buy. Those belong to the review and to shutdown-window planning.

How we work

You send the file or we sit with it for a day. We ask only the questions the tickets cannot answer — usually “is line 2 the old filler or the new one?” A visit happens only when the names cannot be reconciled from the desk.

Ten to fifteen working days is typical for a group of eight to twenty assets and two years of paper. Older heaps take longer; we say so before we start.
