Discover your hidden factory with Idhammar OEE Systems
With the constant pressures of global competition and the 'Wal-Mart factor' driving margins ever lower, manufacturers are forced to look for creative ways to maximise the efficiency of existing plant and minimise additional investment. In this climate the ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has become a critical success factor.
In its most basic form, OEE provides a simple way to "keep score" of manufacturing performance. However, the true power of OEE as a dedicated application lies in the ability to use it as a change-enabler, or tool for continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives.
Now you can harness the full power of OEE with Idhammar's OEE System.
"We have seen real and sustainable improvements in our assets through reducing the six losses of OEE. One particular asset was running seven days a week and still struggling to meet customer demands. Now it typically does the same volume in four-and-a-half days. This avoided capital expenditure to increase capacity through another asset."
