Download Free: How Variation Reduction and OEE are Linked?
By allowing management and operations to get an immediate, intuitive look at plant performance, OEE is a key part of your performance-improvement initiatives. A key performance indicator, OEE enables a fair, facility-independent comparison of current plant performance to historical performance, and to world-class sector benchmarks.
Improving reliability is the key to maximizing productivity, and one avenue to improving reliability is a comprehensive variation reduction program. Reducing variability in your process reduces process related downtime like sheet breaks as well as improving performance and quality, so the success of your variation reduction program is directly reflected in plant and asset OEE numbers, as well as in that most fundamental of metrics – output tonnage.
