Advanced Problem Solving

There's gotta be a better way to do this???

A production process that once in full motion, takes over an hour to see any change if things go wrong. The only thing you can do is hope to catch the early downward trends and warning signs. Because if you go to sleep on the negative indicators, you're really royally screwed.

You don't want to be overly cautious and overreact too early but you don't want to wait too long either.

There ought to be some sort of master override that just stops everything where it's at until the issue can be addressed. But even then, sometimes the fix can't be effected (affected?) until everything contributing to the problem is cleared out of the way. So there's a wasted hour or more of production.
