In this body of work an evolution in thinking is introduced: the most efficient way to increase productivity is to focus on product flow through the process. The paper challenges the status quo by introducing the notion that not all performance metrics are created equally. While OEE is an accepted standard of measurement, it doesn't go beyond data collection. Instead, plant management needs to understand the meaning behind the data so that better business decisions can be made for the enterprise |

Throughput Analyzer Industry Perspective: Bottling
The solution for bottlers that addresses the everyday challenges faced in their industry. By eliminating the waste caused by constraints, getting more units/cases out the door with fewer resources is no longer a challenge but a reality. Whether the constraint is on a 12 oz. can or a 2 liter bottle of soda, the Throughput Analyzer will account for every second of production and identify with the touch of a button whether the root cause is a changeover issue, speed loss or downtime loss. |
