Boosting production power: how OEE dashboards empower plant managers and operators

Table of contents

The challenges of traditional OEE tracking (and why spreadsheets don’t cut it)

• Reduced accuracy and fault tolerance:
  Time-consuming manual data entry leads to increased error rates and decreased ability to quickly recover from faults, diverting valuable manager and operator time from critical tasks.
• Lack of real-time OEE visibility:
  Static spreadsheets offer only a snapshot of past performance, making it impossible to react to real-time production fluctuations. This limits the ability of both managers and operators to address issues as they arise.
• Data overload and analysis paralysis:
  Spreadsheets can quickly become overwhelming, burying crucial information in a sea of data. This makes it difficult for both managers and operators to quickly identify trends and take action.
• Hindered collaboration and communication:
  Sharing and updating spreadsheets can be cumbersome, impeding effective teamwork and communication between managers and operators.

The power of intuitive OEE dashboards

• Real-time OEE insights for immediate action:
  OEE dashboards provide up-to-the-minute data, empowering both plant managers and operators to identify and address production bottlenecks as they occur. Operators can see the direct impact of their actions on OEE, leading to greater ownership and motivation.
• User-friendly interfaces designed for everyone:
  Intuitive dashboards simplify data interpretation with clear visualizations, making them accessible to users of all technical skill levels, from seasoned managers to frontline operators.
• Data visualization for actionable intelligence:
  Charts, graphs, and other visual tools transform raw data into actionable insights, enabling informed decision-making for both managers and operators.
• Customizable OEE dashboards for tailored monitoring:
  Plant managers and operators can personalize their dashboards to display the specific OEE metrics that are most relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
• Enhanced team collaboration through shared dashboards:
  Cloud-based dashboards facilitate seamless data sharing and collaboration among team members, promoting a unified approach to OEE improvement and fostering a culture of shared responsibility.
