How to Identify Trouble?oTop-Down Approach
• Identification by Top Management• Losses in Balance Sheet• Lower Production Rate from Annual Production Report
• Communicated up to Shop Floor Persons for Identification of exact trouble place

How to Identify Trouble?oBottom-Up Approach
• Sensed by Shop Floor Person• Pipe Line Leakage• Sound in Operating Pump
• Communicated to Higher Management Persons for working out severity of trouble for prioritizing activities

Shooting or Solving the TroubleWhat Shooting Requires?
• Clear View of Target (Trouble) Far & Beyond
• Target from Far Distance• Unable to see target
• e.g. Pump vibration from outside of plant campus
• Target beyond Self Experience • Unable to differentiate between Normal & Abnormal
• e.g. Pump cavitation sound not experienced earlier
Experience to get more clarity of Trouble (Trouble is an Opportunity for Growth)

• Clear View of Target (Trouble)
Vision Power• Higher Knowledge Level• Despite far distance, trouble can be viewed well. • Distant symptoms are enough to view the trouble clearly by
higher level knowledge
Far & Beyond

Trouble Shooting of CPI
Shooting or Solving the TroubleWhat Shooting Requires?
• Ability to Hit the Target (Solving the Trouble) Skill Development by Routine Practice
• Fixed Target (Static Trouble) • Relatively easy to solve as trouble is well defined. • e.g. flow from Tank-1 to Tank-2 is not possible due to
insufficient elevation difference (Correct Elevation)
• Moving Target (Dynamic Trouble) • Set of Causes
