Reason codes

The reason codes are used to identify and categorize the causes of various events that occur during the production process. These codes are used to track and analyze data related to issues that arise during production, such as quality defects, equipment breakdowns, and other disruptions.

Reason codes are typically assigned to specific events or occurrences that can be easily identified and tracked. For example, if a piece of equipment breaks down, a reason code might be assigned to indicate the specific type of problem that caused the breakdown, such as a mechanical failure or an electrical issue.

This tab shows all the reason codes created within the P4 application and allows us to either create, edit, or delete reason codes. The list of reason codes can be filtered by all shown columns, which means by:

  • ID

  • Title

  • Description

  • Category

  • Color
