About the eBrief
When measured correctly, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) can improve productivity and quality, ultimately driving your food manufacturing facility’s bottom-line results. Why, then, is OEE underutilized by so many food manufacturers? Understanding which key metrics to evaluate in a complex manufacturing facility is challenging. In addition, measurements must be taken accurately and consistently. For facilities still relying heavily on paper-based systems, OEE is especially overwhelming. Yet, because it remains one of the most powerful tools food and beverage companies can leverage as a competitive advantage, it should not be overlooked.
