In the realm of manufacturing, every minute counts. Efficiency isn’t just a goal; it’s the lifeblood of any successful operation. Yet, amidst the buzz of optimizing processes and streamlining workflows, there’s a small yet significant aspect that often goes unnoticed: minor stops. These interruptions, typically lasting less than three minutes, may seem inconsequential at first glance. However, their cumulative impact on productivity and profitability can be staggering. In this blog post, we delve into the importance of tracking manufacturing minor stops and explore how doing so can drive operational excellence. #manufacturing #productionoptimization #OEE #Andon #businessintelligence #KPI #Productivity #operationalexcellence

We live in an era where product options are endless when it comes to consumer products. The chief problem of endless product options is the sheer number of changeovers needed in a given production cycle. Each changeover stops the line, which not only creates downtime, it also increases the risk of startup issues that affect production efficiency. CPG manufacturers need a way not only to predict and schedule downtime efficiently but also to monitor production post changeover to ensure maximum value stream efficiency. Find Out How Other CPG Manufacturers are Maximizing Value Stream Efficiency. #ProductionOptimization #CPG #ProductionEfficiency #Manufacturing #Efficiency #changeover #valuestream

The following is an excerpt from Food Engineering Magazine’s OEE case study article authored by Grant Gerke spotlighting G&J Pepsi and their use of the ABLE & One View accelerator application suite. The article discusses how G&J Pepsi unlocked real-time data to access crucial KPIs and hidden efficiencies using Sage Clarity’s ABLE and One View accelerator application suite. The article identifies problems G&J Pepsi encountered with minor production stoppages and lack of visibility on the root causes of downtime and solutions used to gain quick wins. “Food and beverage companies are seeking quick wins and ‘proof of technology’ projects that lead to increased efficiencies while also focusing on digital strategy roadmaps so manufacturers can scale. Change is a constant in manufacturing. The “9th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing” report from Rockwell Automation shows that “change management and training employees on updated (technology) processes are the top two workforce-related obstacles” for companies. Besides training existing employees, food and beverage companies are also experiencing increased turnover in end-of-line operations. To alleviate these problems, food manufacturers are turning to digital technologies and tools with minimal integration for quick wins on key performance indicators (KPIs) and the enterprise picture. Companies are mapping out information data models and strategies that allow for scale. While artificial intelligence (AI) receives much attention, standards or information data models are needed as a foundation and to scale efficiency gains across multiple plants.” BLIND SPOTS AND IMPROVING UPTIME AT PEPSI “Recently, G&J Pepsi adopted Sage Clarity’s automated data acquisition tool, ABLE, and its One View accelerator app suite to increase uptime for its four manufacturing facilities. G&J Pepsi bottles and distributes more than 30 beverage brands while overseeing 700 stock-keeping units (SKUs) at four facilities. The problem facing G&J Pepsi was a need for accurate data visibility into production stoppages due to manual data collection via operators for OEE.” Click image below to read the full article in the online edition of Food Engineering Magazine. #SageClarity #casestudy #OEE #manufacturing #Pepsi #ABLE #OneView #AcceleratorApps #ChangeManagement #Efficiency #RootCause
