The Result.
The optimization led to a 10% reduction in production costs and improved capacity utilization. Project costs were reduced by 20% within 12 months.
Case Study.
In a production facility for biochemical active ingredients, the mono-production line had reached its limits, which made comprehensive OEE optimization necessary in order to increase efficiency and make optimum use of production capacity.
The production facility was reaching its capacity limits. There was a lack of systematic recording of OEE, which led to a lack of transparency regarding lost time. Inefficient communication between the process teams and inadequate capacity planning exacerbated the problem. Frequent production downtimes due to time-consuming cleaning processes further impaired the process.
The main objectives were to optimize the recording of lost time, improve communication between the teams and reduce cleaning times in order to minimize downtime.
The optimization led to a 10% reduction in production costs and improved capacity utilization. Project costs were reduced by 20% within 12 months.
