Core to Implementation Engineers’ operational excellence work are improvements designed to increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) across industries. We deploy a myriad of problem solving and optimization techniques to address the various components of OEE in which opportunity exists. These can include maintenance improvements in availability, planning and scheduling enhancements to improve utilization, quality improvements, operator best practices for increased averaged speed, and more. Our team works closely with client personnel to identify and prioritize OEE improvement opportunities across the value stream, focusing in the appropriate areas based on the specific project objectives. By leveraging our expertise and proven methodologies, we help our clients optimize their operations and achieve significant improvements in capacity and cost efficiency.

Some of the improvements implemented during the IX® phase include:
