Where the lost days went

Every recorded delay reason ranked by the total days it cost, with a footnote saying whether it is a crew problem or a systemic one.

What it is

A sorted horizontal bar chart of the top eight reasons. The tooltip carries days lost, occurrence count and the average slip — plus the judgement call: 'Only Framing Crew B has hit this — likely a crew problem, not a supply one' versus 'Hit 3 crews (…) — systemic rather than crew-specific.' Scoped to one crew, that footnote switches to whether the reason is a one-off or recurring.

Also called: delay reasons · why are we running late · what's costing us days · weather delays · why are we always late · top causes of delay · days lost to weather

'Where the Lost Days Went' — reasons down the left, amber bars, tooltip listing days lost, occurrences, average slip and the systemic-vs-crew footnote. FieldPerformance.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Only stages that ran over contribute; the reason is the note recorded on the stage, or 'No reason recorded'.
  2. 2Days, occurrences and the set of crews that hit each reason are accumulated.
  3. 3Sorted by total days lost, top eight kept.
  4. 4The footnote branches on selection state and on how many crews hit the reason.
Why we built it

The tooltip comment explains the branch: 'Scoped to one crew, "hit 1 crew" is a tautology — so the footnote switches to the thing that is still unknown.' The whole panel exists to move from 'we are late' to 'this is what late is made of'.

The problem
  • Delay causes were anecdotal rather than totalled.
  • There was no way to tell a systemic cause from one crew's habit.
Sound familiar?
What you get
The single most expensive cause of delay is named and quantified.
Crew-specific and systemic causes are distinguished automatically.
