"Worximity's real-time analytics enabled management to understand reasons for machine downtime and efficiency losses and, in turn, identify the root cause issues impacting OEE," said Frederick. "Within a few months, 95 percent of downtime causes were identified, which enabled management to systematically increase line throughput by 20 percent." Eight months later, Frederick announced the impact of Uno's OEE initiative: an eye-opening 5 percentage points of sales increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
