Investing in an OEE tracking system is a great first step toward reducing machine downtime, saving money and, ultimately, increasing revenue. However, using production data correctly is not as simple as it may sound. Like most things, there is a learning curve for manufacturers that are new to this process.

Implementing a utilization tracking system like Amper is an effective way to manage machine downtime. However, you’ll need to enable your supervisors and managers to create accountability with the system and with operators. Ultimately, operators will be the ones responsible for identifying machine downtime root causes.
