What is the Fix the Weekly Process Downtime Report course about?

Every Monday, the process downtime summary needs to be rebuilt because the data sources don’t align, shift logs are incomplete, and manual entry errors cascade. This causes delays in reliability reviews, frustrates operations leads, and pulls focus from root-cause analysis. The template is patched each week instead of being fixed once.
