Short and Precise
OEE Value as Central Key Figure
In daily internal meetings, the production management and department heads report to the management team and the management. The performance of the production is discussed on the basis of daily updated data.
Great Added Value Is Provided by the Overviews on the Large Screens at the Shop Floor
The visualization of the OEE key figure for the last two months shows performance along the respective lines. The hit list also visualizes where most time is lost due to unplanned downtimes, in order to set priorities for optimization. The employees appreciate these visualizations very much. They also actively approach the shift management and expect optimization measures when faults occur frequently. The improvement suggestions do not only come from above, but are also initiated directly from production.
Flexibility in Key Figures and Extensions
For Rügenwalder Mühle, the individual configuration of key figures is a core element of the functionality of FASTEC 4 PRO. The additional function of configurable KPIs allows for quick and easy modification of key figures. Particularly noteworthy is the option to individually define the OEE and, for example, exclude set-up times. The graphical representation of the data facilitates the analysis and interpretation of the key figures, thus enabling targeted optimization of the production processes.
Expandable with Just a Few Simple Steps
It was also possible to expand the system step by step with new plants quickly and easily. The plants were connected via BR modules or sensors and integrated into the FASTEC 4 PRO interface with just a few simple steps.
