Production continuity between teams directly impacts your OEE performance. Poor handovers generate invisible losses: incorrectly configured machines, unresolved issues, lost context. These minutes wasted at each shift change accumulate into hours each month and impact...
Unsupervised production represents the pinnacle of industrial automation. Machines running at night, on weekends, without human presence. This promise of lights-out manufacturing attracts with its productivity gains. But how do you maintain OEE when no one is there to...
Operational excellence isn’t achieved overnight. Between the plant that’s discovering OEE and the one optimizing it in real time, the journey passes through several maturity stages. Understanding where you stand allows you to define the right priorities...
How to harmonize OEE measurement across multiple sites to enable reliable comparisons, share best practices, and drive continuous improvement at the enterprise level. Multi plant OEE has become a major strategic challenge for manufacturers operating across multiple...
In industries exposed to hazardous environments — chemicals, energy, metallurgy, oil and gas, thermal processes, explosive atmospheres or pressurized installations — operational performance cannot be separated from personnel safety. In these demanding contexts, each...
When we talk about OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), we immediately think shop floor: equipment availability, rates, scrap. OEE impacts suppliers and customers far beyond the workshop, yet most manufacturers still treat it as a purely internal performance...
In industries exposed to hazardous environments – chemical, energy, metallurgy, oil & gas, thermal processes, explosive atmospheres or pressurized installations – operational performance cannot be dissociated from people safety. In these demanding...
The impact of 5S on OEE is a subject underestimated by most manufacturers. 5S is often reduced to a tidying-up exercise, a cosmetic exercise to be carried out before an audit or a customer visit. This is a fundamental misunderstanding. 5S is a direct lever...
Make-to-order vs. make-to-stock OEE is a subject that most manufacturers ignore. A make-to-stock plant and a make-to-order plant may use the same machines and the same ERP. But the way OEE impacts their performance, production planning and profitability is...
When we talk about OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), we immediately think of the field: availability machines, rates, scrap. OEE has an impact on suppliers and customers far beyond the shop floor, yet most manufacturers still treat it as a “business...
