Getting To Grips With Real Time Operational Data
Gemba Solutions has launched OEE Impact Connect that is claimed to get to grips with real time OEE, downtime, product performance and shift performance data.
In Gemba's opinion, in today's competitive market place, with growing pressure for higher profits and lower costs, every manufacturing company wants to improve its shop-floor productivity, performance and quality, which is the key to increasing margins, lowering overheads and keeping companies ahead in lean manufacturing.
OEE - which is becoming manufacturing industry's key performance indicator (KPI) - is a formula that takes each of those factors in to account and provides a single benchmark measurement for production processes.
The OEE figure helps to highlight production bottlenecks, allowing users to identify production losers, drive down wastage levels and increase profits, said Gemba.
The company claimed that OEE is a core component of lean manufacturing and that it is so easy to understand that everyone from the machine operator to the managing director can be empowered with the data.
