Abstract : In the sphere of industrial processes, the constant operation of machinery is paramount, and any downtime resonates with substantial losses in productivity, efficiency, and profitability. The industry confronts the intricate challenge of minimizing machine downtime attributed to breakdowns, unscheduled maintenance, operator errors, and environmental factors. This predicament creates a cascade of adverse effects, diminished efficiency, missed production targets, heightened maintenance costs, and reduced profitability. This research paper charts a strategic roadmap designed to address the challenge of minimizing unplanned machine downtime. With a focus on key objectives, including maximizing machine productivity, minimizing downtime through root cause identification and preventive measures, reducing maintenance costs, and ultimately enhancing overall efficiency for improved competitiveness and profitability. However, a set of constraints introduces complexity to the implementation of these objectives. Budgetary constraints, time limitations, resource scarcity, regulatory requirements, and operational constraints intricately weave a tapestry that demands thoughtful navigation. The proposed strategy encompasses a multifaceted approach integrating preventive measures, root cause analysis, and efficiency optimization. The paper navigates through these strategies, taking into account the identified constraints, offering a holistic framework to enhance machine reliability and performance. Through a judicious balance of technological innovation, preventive maintenance, and operational optimization, the industry aspires to revolutionize manufacturing processes, mitigate downtime challenges, and emerge as a more competitive and profitable entity in the industrial domain. Moreover, in the realm of machine downtime classification, this study employs diverse models such as Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree, AdaBoost Classifier, Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Extra Tree Classifier, and HistGradient Boosting. The evaluation criteria include accuracies, recall, precision and F1 scores, offering a comprehensive assessment of each model's effectiveness in predicting and preventing machine downtime. Notably, Random Forest outperforms other models, adding a significant layer of insight for industries seeking efficient measures in machine downtime management.

Keywords : Machine Downtime Prediction, Python, PowerBI, Machine learning models, Streamlit, Predictive Maintenance, Operational Uptime Optimization, Industrial Equipment Efficiency, Production Loss Prevention, Manufacturing Productivity Enhancement.
