Solving the Downtime Dilemma: 5 Reasons to Look Beyond Your Top 10 Downtime List (Activplant White Paper)
This white paper challenges the viewpoint of focusing only on downtime. It illuminates other causes which can negatively impact plant performance. It uses examples to show how concentrating solely on downtime can be misleading and cause manufacturers to waste resources needlessly by fixing the wrong problems.
Finally, the paper proposes an alternate approach – throughput analysis – as a more modern and effective method for acquiring objective data about the causes... |

It's Midnight. Do You Know What a Truss Costs You?
A few years ago, Building Components of Idaho didn't really know what it cost to build a truss. The building component manufacturer, which is based in Nampa, ID, had workers fill out paper time cards and key them into QuickBooks. The data became hard to track due to inaccurate punches and incomplete timecards. At the end of each month, this data was used for job cost analysis. Estimated costs versus actual costs didn't always balance out, though. |

The OEE Deficit: Why it can't deliver the results you require (Activplant Whitepaper)
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. |

Coca-Cola Amatil achieves substantial performance improvements with Activplant manufacturing intelligence solution.
Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) embarked on a national Manufacturing Excellence program based around a uniform means of performance measurement across all plants with a particular focus on high-speed packaging lines. It was soon discovered that CCA lacked fundamentatl production performance data to drive process improvement. An automated data collection and reporting system to provide this visibility was required. Activplant delivers the inforamtion needed to make critical operational decisions. |
