Managing OEE to Optimize Production Performance
When we talk about operational efficiency in the industry, reality still shows us many challenges to be overcome. Although much is said about Industry 4.0 and about systems and technologies that enable unprecedented precision in the production process, the fact is that many companies still do not even measure the efficiency of their production chain.
