Case Studies
Case Study: Specialty Materials Manufacturer
Goal
A specialty materials manufacturer wants to enhance its ability to analyze productivity metrics across its global network of production sites.
Big Wins
Create cloud-based OEE system synchronized across multiple sites
Standardize performance units of measure, enabling comparisons
Categorize downtime events to pinpoint inefficiencies
Produce six-figure savings within two months
Scale work order management to additional sites
Case Study: Pet Food Producer
Goal
The pet food producer relied largely on lab product sampling to determine quality. This resulted in thousands of pounds of product each year “lost” directly to testing or to batches that were scrapped because they were produced before test results indicated a problem.
Big Wins
Saved more than 100K pounds previously used for testing
Created a replicable model for additional facilities to unlock multi-million-dollar savings
Accrued savings of $1M
Case Study: Food Manufacturer
Goal
Leadership wanted facility operators to receive timely data to help them optimize production.
This meant creating an internal data analytics team and improving the quality and speed of relevant data collection to ensure operators quickly identify and address negative production trends.
Big Wins
Initial installation in one line at produced $520K per year in savings due to overtime elimination
Created standard Digital Platform for Manufacturing Data – focus on efficiency (OEE) and quality
Helped create a new mobile operator strategy at several facilities
Currently working with over 20 plants across the company
