Maintenance and reliability team

Three buildings, a planner, two crews, and a maintenance system. PMs, the backlog, and unplanned stops are current, read straight from its exports. Next week's crew plan is stale; it was built on Monday. Three things are dark: work orders waiting on parts, the spares on the shelf checked against the equipment list, and the hours spent rebuilding the schedule. When a spare is missing, the work order waits, PMs slip past due, and the unplanned stops follow. The Frame shows that chain and writes nothing back: work orders, calibration records, and sign-offs stay in the maintenance system.

Two weeks back, one week ahead

Each row is one record. The band pinches when the record changes and widens as it ages. Past today it is the Frame looking ahead, and it stops where it can no longer say.
