Your operators are leaving. You just don't know which ones yet.
Manufacturing loses 29% of its workforce every year. Most plant managers find out someone is leaving the day they hand in their notice. EIP tells you 90 days before that moment, using data you already have.
The pattern here
Manufacturing turnover runs about 29% a year. Most HR leaders say it costs $10,000 to $40,000 to replace one skilled frontline worker, and the industry could be short 1.9 million workers by 2033 if the talent gap is not addressed. Every open seat on the line means slower output, more mistakes from newer hires, and overtime to cover the gap.

The knowledge that walks out the door.
A 10-year operator who fixed machines without a manual gets replaced by someone checking videos and manuals. Everything takes longer, and mistakes go up.
