Operational excellence cannot be achieved overnight. Between the plant that discovers OEE and the one that optimizes it in real time, the road goes through several stages of maturity. Understanding where you stand enables you to set the right priorities and avoid...
Unsupervised production represents the culmination of industrial automation. Machines that run at night and at weekends, with no human presence. The promise of lights-out manufacturing is seductive because of its productivity gains. But how do you maintain OEE when no...
The continuity of production between teams directly affects your OEE performance. A botched handover generates invisible losses: machines incorrectly set up, problems not transmitted, context lost. These minutes wasted at each shift change accumulate into hours every...
The quality of your decisions depends on the quality of your data. A TRS calculated on inaccurate information produces false analyses and misdirected actions. Yet many companies work with approximate OEE data without even realizing it. In this article, we identify the...
You’re convinced that OEE tracking will transform your production. Your field teams need it. But your management is hesitating, putting off, asking for more justification. This scenario is repeated in hundreds of production plants every year. The value of a...
The frequency of OEE monitoring directly determines your ability to react to production problems. Monitoring that’s too far apart lets losses slip away. Too much monitoring drowns teams in data. In this article, we analyze the three main approaches: daily...
