Get in touchUnlock your production potential: Boost your productivity
Much like a race car that isn’t running at full speed, missed opportunities for machine productivity mean lost profit, reduced competitiveness, and higher operational costs. To identify these opportunities and accelerate your results, it’s essential to analyze the right key performance indicators. One valuable metric in this context is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), which reveals weak points in the production process.
The good news: You don’t need extensive investments to improve your productivity. Even in racing, the right pit stop and adjustments can make a winning difference. With a few well-chosen measures and by tuning your existing machinery, you can quickly boost your performance and leave your competitors behind.
Discover the hidden potential in your production! Only those who know their performance can unlock their full potential and stay ahead in the race for productivity.
Combination of three critical factors for a complete picture of your machine`s performance
Availability
Measures the percentage of scheduled time that the equipment is available to operate.
Considers unplanned stops and breakdowns.
Performance
Evaluates the ratio of actual output to target output
Tracks losses due to slow cycles, minor stops, or reduced speed.
Quality
Assesses which share of the produced quantity fulfills the quality standards.
Addresses losses due to scrap, defective products or rework.
Race to the Top: Three Key Steps for Maximizing Your Productivity
To continuously improve your production performance and realize the full capabilities of your operations, it is important to follow a structured process. Increasing productivity is not a one-time task, but an ongoing cycle that consists of three key steps: Monitoring, Evaluation, and Optimization. Each phase is crucial for identifying potential, making data-driven decisions, and putting effective improvements into action.
1. Monitoring
The first step is to continuously monitor your production processes and equipment. By gathering accurate, real-time data on key factors such as availability, performance, and quality, you gain an objective view of your overall production status and can quickly respond to deviations or losses.
One proven method for tracking productivity in a single, easy-to-understand metric is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Monitoring your OEE helps you pinpoint weak spots and inefficiencies along the production line. While there are many ways to assess productivity, OEE offers a comprehensive indicator for evaluating operational performance and making targeted improvements.
2. Evaluation
After the data collection phase, the next crucial step is a systematic evaluation of the results. This process includes analyzing where inefficiencies and losses occur, identifying their root causes, and uncovering the greatest opportunities for improvement.
At this stage, our experts from W&H Services can support you by addressing the main reasons for a low OEE, which typically include:
- Availability losses
caused by unplanned downtimes, setup, and waiting times - Performance losses
resulting from short stops and reduced speed - Quality losses
due to start-up scrap, rework, and production scrap
3. Optimization
Once you have identified the areas for improvement, it’s time to optimize processes. This includes implementing targeted actions such as adjusting machine settings, improving maintenance routines, implementing a retrofit or training staff to address the weaknesses found in the evaluation phase.
