Video: What is Cognitive Manufacturing?

In the OEE system, a score of 100% represents the theoretical best output (no faulty parts, maximum possible speed, no stops), and a score of 0% represents a total shutdown (any metric being 0% during production time). In real life an OEE score of 100% is obviously impossible, but carefully measuring a current process against its ideal form is a necessary to understanding where improvements can be made.

Here’s why involving your factory operators is important for success in continuous improvement projects.

Measuring Rejects and Non-Quality is essential to both lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives. Learn the most common causes of rejects in continuous improvement here.
