-- 97% On Time Delivery
-- 96% Throughput
-- 92% Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Putting these findings in context, Bharat Nair, SVP and Research Director
with Aberdeen's Global Manufacturing Practice, states, "while
implementation of best-of-breed technologies do provide measurable
improvement in performance, those that invest beyond best-of-breed
technology with enterprise interoperability with real time data feeds to
and from ERP systems tend to realize better performance improvements at
Best-In-Class levels."
Based on the findings of the report, Nair adds the following
recommendations for action:
-- Deliver factory floor data as actionable intelligence to key decision-
makers.
-- Implement best-of-breed applications with real time integration to
enterprise applications.
-- Establish executive sponsorship for EAM at the enterprise level, but
execute locally.
-- Adopt Condition-Based and Predictive Maintenance Strategies.
-- Increase real-time monitoring capability to track Spare Parts
Consumption and stock outs.
