It is of utmost importance to
improve efficiency in the manufacturing in order
to withstand competition and stay competitive
in today's marketplace. There is a large unused
potential, very often not understood by top
management, in practically all manufacturing
activities. The financial impact of finding
this "hidden factory" is huge.
To better understand how a manufacturing area
is performing and to identify the barriers that
block improved effectiveness, the concept of
OEE brings efficiency, throughput rate, and
quality into one common metric and provides
one single measurement of performance. All operations
and supporting functions can understand their
impact on manufacturing.
Small improvements in Efficiency (or OEE) can
result in big improvements in profitability.
For example, it has been shown that a 10 percent
improvement in OEE can result in a 50 percent
improvement in ROA (Return on Assets). This
shows that investing in OEE initiatives can
be ten times more cost-effective than purchasing
new capital equipment. In fact, many companies
use OEE to ensure that existing equipment is
fully utilized before new equipment is purchased.
Our solution empowers
customers to: |
- Track and monitor your overall
equipment effectiveness (OEE)
- Track downtime, waste, production
counts, user-defined events
- Automatically or manually associate
events with a specific cause on
a real-time basis
- Analyze equipment effectiveness
based on reasons (identify root cause)
- Summarize and analyze data in
the context of production events
such as by equipment, by product,
or by personnel (hour, shift and
day) for improvement
- Correlate events and reasons to
actual production operations (historian
process data)
- Develop reports and dashboards
for real-time decision-making
- Web-based analysis and visualization
– real-time decisions

(people, equipment, materials) through
a comprehensive view of overall equipment
efficiency
- Get more for less production costs
- Identify and improve areas
that are causing operational inefficiencies
- Minimize scheduled and unscheduled
downtime events
