THE GOAL To Increase weekly output from an average 31t ( 37 % OEE ) to 63t ( 75 % OEE ) on one pack size within 7-week timeframe .
THE SOLUTION A ‘ Manufacturing Improvement Team ( MIT ) were brought together , and a plan of action was developed . The first activity was to carry out an Apollo Root Cause Analysis into the ‘ OEE Deterioration on the Production Line ’ which identified a number of solutions that would turn around this customer critical situation .
THE RESULTS The approach allowed the client to get control over the losses and identify solutions for increased , steady , and consistent production . The approach consisted of both Operational and Reliability Excellence activities that culminated in delivering the required production goal within a very short period . The FMECA study element was completed in 15 days and was developed within Isograph AWB Software
THE TESTIMONIAL
“ As part of our excellence journey , we partnered with PRS to facilitate this rapid intervention . The PRS team provided the framework , tools , and facilitation to ensure we hit the ground running . The structured approach allowed the team to work on key improvement areas in an accelerated manner . The FMECA tool demonstrated how quickly and professionally a company can determine their critical assets and model various strategies to ensure reliability . This process yielded the team not only to establish a good reliability foundation , but they broke a three-year production record as an added bonus . This was a great example of using an excellence intervention to deliver other benefits that lead to operational excellence as well .” – Site Manager – Food Oil Facility , UK
