What it is about
Efficiency concepts on paper do not move a single machine. Production optimisation means working directly at the plant and with the operators. Structured root cause analysis isolates cycle time overruns and unplanned stoppages. Setting up stable changeover procedures (SMED) considerably shortens downtime during product changes.
Particular attention is paid to systematic scrap reduction. By linking process data with material analyses, sources of error are eliminated permanently. This lowers material costs, relieves internal logistics and measurably increases the productivity of the entire production line.
Frequently asked questions
Which method is used to shorten cycle times?
Thermal balancing of the cooling process in the mould, in order to reduce the cooling time to the minimum without any loss of dimensional stability.
How is OEE improvement measured?
OEE is made up of availability × performance × quality rate. Before starting, a reliable baseline measurement window is recorded; afterwards, the results are compared against the same key figure definitions, with no juggling of numbers.
