Value 11: Lost production reports shall record where and what, then ask WHY to solve and eliminate the problem.
Here’s the scene: I am at a client site to coach the implementation of best practices in maintenance and reliability.

It was not a good 24 hours for this mill’s PM8: a drive had failed on the dryer section. The change of the drive is ongoing and the machine is down.

The discussion steers toward how the electrician could miss this.
