Team Handover: Best Practices to Maintain OEE
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 your profitability. In this article, we share best practices for […]
Operational Excellence: The 5 Levels of OEE Maturity
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 and avoid skipping essential steps. In this article, we present the five levels of the […]
Multi Plant OEE: How to Standardize Performance Across Your Manufacturing Sites
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 locations. The question systematically arises during management committee meetings: “What is the true performance […]
Supply Chain Integration: How OEE Impacts Your Suppliers and Customers
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 indicator. Reducing OEE to a number displayed on a production screen ignores that […]
OEE Hazardous Environments: Performance, Prevention and Industrial Safety
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 production line constitutes a high-risk workplace where the slightest instability […]
5S Impact on OEE: How Workplace Organization Improves Industrial Efficiency
The impact of 5S on OEE is a subject underestimated by most manufacturers. 5S is often reduced to a housekeeping approach, a cosmetic exercise that is brought out before an audit or client visit. This is a fundamental misunderstanding. 5S is a direct lever for improving OEE, and factories that understand this […]
OEE hazardous environments: performance, prevention and industrial safety
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 contexts, every production line is a high-risk workplace, where the slightest instability […]
