How to drive Lean Manufacturing with OEE Software
Gemba Solutions OEE software provides an invaluable tool for consultants involved in Lean Manufacturing: OEE Impact provides a set of tools aimed at monitoring Overall Equipment Effectiveness 'OEE'
This has been compounded by the emergence of Lean Manufacturing initiatives such as Six Sigma, Kaizen, QRM and Overall Equipment Effectiveness to name but a few, which require a somewhat different historical data logging structure that SCADA systems just do not have.
Ask almost any SCADA system to provide a pareto chart of the top ten stoppage reasons, by shift, as a standard report, or an OEE report by machine against a single product type, and this would likely be done through an SQL query being built - something normally requiring an experienced programmer to perform.
This has now been rectified with the new low-cost addition to the industry-acclaimed OEE Impact software of the new OEE Impact Connect module.
This new module provides the data interface to virtually any SCADA system, allowing this valuable process data to be transformed into meaningful manufacturing information and giving the use of the OEE Impact user-friendly reporting tool.
All the hard work for converting the logged data is done with the OEE Impact Connect interface, allowing users to run any one of its 200 standard manufacturing reports with its "click and shoot" report generator.
So, if you need flexible reporting of: OEE, machine downtimes, setup times, product, shift and operator performance and much more, OEE Impact plus the new OEE Impact Connect interface is the easy and cost effective solution.
