A food and beverage company is facing a technical issue at one of their major processing plants. Quite recently they faced another technical issue which delayed the food processing operations and eventually resulted in some financial loss for the company. The issue was fixed by the mechanical staff of the company. Now the current technical problem can result in even a bigger loss and it might affect the company's reputation if it gains attention of the public through social or electronic media. Senior management of the company is really concerned about this matter. After brainstorming, the senior management decided to consult a specialist firm for this purpose. This time senior leadership wants to get a detailed technical analysis of their production machines to identify and resolve any potential issues in longer run. The specialist firm conducted a detailed technical audit of all 10 processing units and presented the following findings.
