Think about this

:

• A plant working at 65% OEE has 147 unaccounted minutes per shift. A 5% improvement in throughput will recover 21 minutes per shift. At a 100 person plant, that’s worth $437,400 per year in savings.

• What would you do with an additional $437,500 and those extra minutes? It's About Time...

    Let Activplant show you how to get those minutes back.
