Actionable data

"If we have downtime on a machine, it's really easy for us to understand where that downtime was, who worked on it, what model we were running, what they did to fix it, and when it was back up and running. If we can't solve problems, we can't improve, and if we don't improve, we may not exist in the future."

- Valerie Held, APS Coordinator

Use Case #1

Data collection and equipment review

Using L2L, Autoliv transformed how it tracks and reviews equipment maintenance data.

 

Autoliv 1

Before

cross-icon

The company relied on "red book" binders with handwritten maintenance logs stored with each machine. Reviewing the maintenance history and status of their thousands of equipment pieces took an entire day, with fragmented and inconsistent documentation.

With L2L, management can review all equipment status within minutes. The system provides complete visibility of maintenance activities, technician assignments, and equipment conditions in a centralized, digital format that can be accessed instantly.

Use Case #2

Resource accountability and allocation

L2L created visibility into maintenance resource utilization and effectiveness.

Before

cross-icon

Managers had limited insight into technician activities and productivity. It was difficult to track who was working on what equipment and for how long, resulting in inefficient resource allocation and potential accountability issues.

Now

check

L2L tracks technician activities in real-time, showing exactly where resources are allocated. Management can easily generate reports showing technician productivity and accountability. The data helps optimize staffing and assignment decisions.

L2L holds people accountable. I can actually pull reports that look at how much they've been busy during the day. It's very important for us to understand on maintenance side.

Use Case #3

Production impact tracking

L2L provides tools to identify and address production-impacting events.

Before

cross-icon

Production issues were often poorly documented, making it difficult to identify recurring problems or patterns. Material shortages and other abnormalities would frequently impact production lines before they were addressed.

Now

check

Any situation that impacts production is recorded in L2L. The system can identify trends in downtime situations and detect when equipment is starting to deteriorate. The team can now identify material shortages before they impact production lines.

quote-icon

Anytime there is a situation on the floor that impacts production, we want to record that, and this is the system that we use to record that. We can trend downtime situations, we can trend when something's starting to go bad.

Mike Rasmussen, Technical Support Supervisor.
Use Case #4

Cross-departmental problem-solving

L2L transforms how departments at Autoliv collaborate to address issues.

Before

cross-icon

Siloed information and disconnected problem-solving approaches made departmental problem-solving a challenge. Hot-shot calls, missed shipments, and expedited materials were difficult to track consistently across functions.

Now

check

Multiple departments—Maintenance, Production Control, Quality, and Production—use the same system to track abnormalities. This creates a unified view of issues and enables collaborative problem-solving that wasn't possible before.

They can use it in any department. The quality department can use it, production control can use it, [along with] production and the maintenance world. L2L makes your job easier.
