Getting an accurate picture of downtime sources across a mill, can be a difficult task. Yet, it is an essential element in evaluating root causes of asset reliability issues and prioritizing where to focus your maintenance efforts. Calculating the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in many areas of the mill is still a manual operation eating up valuable resource time.
This webcast will show you how to use real time data from your automation systems to capture downtime and help your operators categorize it accurately.
You will learn how to:
- Pinpoint and prioritize sources of downtime to facilitate root cause analysis
- Automate systems data collection to present an accurate picture of the health of your assets
- Calculate OEE in all process areas help to evaluate progress in your maintenance improvement efforts
This webcast is for:
- Production Managers
- Maintenance Managers
- Superintendents
- Maintenance Engineers
- Anyone working on improving asset reliability and plant performance
