In Consumer Evolution, an equipment shutdown allows you to record the periods during which an asset is out of service.
This record allows you to identify the start and end of the shutdown, differentiate whether it was scheduled or unscheduled, and use that information to analyze availability and other maintenance indicators.
How can I register a stop?
Stops can be reported in two ways.
From a work order
It allows recording the stoppage associated with a maintenance intervention.
From the work order it is also possible to incorporate other equipment affected by the same shutdown.
From Team Stops
It allows you to register a stop independently, without needing to link it to a work order.

Scheduled and unscheduled stops
Scheduled
It is used when the equipment shutdown was previously planned.
Unscheduled
It is used when the stoppage occurs unexpectedly, for example as a result of a failure.
This classification is important for calculating maintenance indicators. While all downtime is included in the overall availability analysis, indicators related to breakdowns only consider unscheduled downtime.
Stop closure
When the equipment becomes available again, the stop must be closed to record the completion of the stop.
Once closed, it ceases to be considered an active stop and its information becomes available for historical analysis.
Relationship with the indicators
The dates and duration of the shutdowns, along with the scheduled operation of the assets, allow for the analysis of indicators such as:
- Full availability.
- Availability due to breakdowns.
- Mean time to repair (MTTR).
- Mean time between failures (MTBF).
