They were oversold, under resourced, and looking for ways to move quickly with the equipment and team members they had. The aggressive pace of change and constant firefighting undermined early attempts to adapt.\u00a0<\/p><p>The engineering and operations teams had already been working with Oden Technologies to improve quality. The company came to us with this new situation, looking for assistance. Our team saw a way to maintain quality standards, while increasing throughput, and even creating a better workforce experience for new operators.<\/p><p>When investigating the manufacturer\u2019s data, it was identified that within the same product SKU,\u00a0 different operators and shifts had large variances in performance. Some runs had very high output and high quality, while others weren\u2019t even close to hitting similar numbers. In fact, 20% of runs weren\u2019t remotely close to performance targets. Operators had to guess the best settings for running a product with each new run. This signaled that there were challenges with how targets were created, used, and adhered to at the factory floor level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\"

Targets are often made from company level metrics and are heavily based on margins, not on individual line and product capability. Many manufacturers aren\u2019t measuring their demonstrated capability. The majority of the time, that means that output targets by product line are likely under where they could be, leaving output, OEE, and profit on the table. Similarly, if targets are too high for a specific line, they\u2019re demotivating and possibly even dangerous for operators as they try to meet unachievable targets.<\/p><p>Fortunately, with Oden already tracking the process and production data across machines, lines, and most importantly, operators, this wasn\u2019t a situation that required new tool implementations, or costly consulting services.<\/p><p>The manufacturing company used Oden\u2019s performance targeting solution to analyze data from different lines across different operators. From this, they were able to establish realistic baseline throughput rates and process behaviors for unique product \/ line combinations. These new targets were added to the Oden software and interface. Team members at the manufacturing company were now able to compare where they were, and where they should be, in one system. This process took roughly 2 weeks to complete, while most target analysis projects take 4+ months, and are only adjusted on an annual basis.<\/p><p>Targets were based off of runs that were within the historical average of overall performance. This ensured that targets were based on what could be executed on the individual line, while not expecting an outlying perfect run every single time.<\/p><p>The manufacturer now had accurate and trustworthy targets. Unlike targets based on traditional high-level KPI methods (OEE, product margins), these targets are based on individual lines and product mixes, which take into account machine builds, machine ages, placement in the factory, etc. It\u2019s also easier for individual operators to understand, as it\u2019s based on what they\u2019re individually in control of. This was key for ensuring an empowered front-line staff to use in their day to day work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a4f7e3b elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a4f7e3b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8a9af2a\" data-id=\"8a9af2a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-866fa1e ltprdtestimon elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-testimonial\" data-id=\"866fa1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"eael-testimonial-866fa1e\" class=\"eael-testimonial-item clearfix  classic-style\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-testimonial-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-testimonial-text\"><p><strong>The process took roughly 2 weeks to complete, while most target analysis projects take 4+ months<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<span class=\"eael-testimonial-quote\"><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7610ac0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7610ac0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-44b6d1c\" data-id=\"44b6d1c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3736f88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3736f88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c08395f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c08395f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Empowering Staff<\/b><\/h2><p>Improving performance targets is a common goal for manufacturers, but this improvement may not move the needle on its own. What pushed the project to generate over $1 million in captured revenue was changing the way operators and supervisors related to their performance targets, regardless of their line experience.<\/p><p>This project empowered multiple levels within the plant to understand what they needed to prioritize and increased access to information to make better decisions. The previous process for daily production reviews included supervisors and managers manually pulling ERP and machine data, consolidating that information with a run log, asking operators for context, and analyzing information to understand line performance.\u00a0<\/p><p>With improved targets and Oden, that information is now provided automatically to key stakeholders, as well as recommendations for product \/ line combinations that present the largest opportunity for improvement. This makes prioritization extremely fast and impactful.
