EN Organizations increasingly recognize the need to act in accordance with the idea of sustainable development. In the context of a production system, this is based not only on minimizing material losses but also on human support in the work process. The activities described in this article verify the operation of the system by collecting data on problems occurring during the production process, and the presented case study shows not only that companies do not always have to base their analyses on expensive solutions constructed on big data but they also misinterpret the causes of disruptions, which leads to further losses. This study presents an innovative system supporting the identification of downtime, and the results obtained allowed the examined organization to introduce changes based on specific premises, which led to reducing the waste of resources. The research carried out showed that it is not the excessive load on machines that is the problem but unnecessary downtime resulting from, for example, poor-quality materials for packaging goods.
