One of the most common issues we find with new clients
is they do not fully understand the power of the PI
system they own. It comes as a surprise to the client
when we audit their system and make recommendations that
they never considered or knew were possible. Here are a
few examples:
OEE:
Operational Equipment & Effectiveness is absolutely
the bottom line for your ROI! Some of the benefits
include:
o
Underutilized Assets
: Asset Optimization will determine how to
make your equipment provide a greater ROI.
o
What If Scenarios: Modeling the PI data can
provide the 'What If' scenarios needed to bypass a
catastrophic equipment failure.
o
Asset Optimization: Pinpoint recurring
problems that cost you money.
o
Bottlenecks: From the plant floor to the
Enterprise, OEE provides advanced analytics to
eliminate lost production by identifying bottlenecks
in your process.
KPIs: Key
Performance Indicators provide the metrics used to
quantify objectives to reflect your strategic
performance. This equates to maximum ROI of all
assets by monitoring the KPIs. Some quick examples
include :
o
Downtime: Mean Time Between Failures, Mean
Time Between Repairs, Failure Rate, Availability,
and Scheduled vs. Unscheduled Down Time.
o
Inventory: Average Stock Level, Process Cycle
Time, Book Value, Physical Stock Value, Inventory
Cover Days, WIP Turns, and Process Cycle Times
o
Distribution: Delivery Late vs. Early,
Incompletes, Fleet Utilization, On-time
deliverables.
o
Procurement: Supplier % of Broken
Deliverables and On-time Deliverables, Days From
Order to Delivery, Open Days for Request For Price,
Average Contract Value
Maintenance:
The PI data can be used for an insurmountable
troubleshooting tool for your maintenance personnel.
Automated
Reporting: Most clients do not know that
their EPA and FDA mandated reports can be performed
automatically.
Converting Legacy
Data: We have converted numerous legacy
databases into OSI PI. We have yet to find a
proprietary database the cannot be converted. Go
ahead, try to throw us a loop, we dare you!
SAP Integration:
SAP integration is a common request and not a
problem. If you need SAP integration, we can provide
it from the PI side or the SAP side.
The
examples above are just a small snapshot of ways to
provide a maximum ROI in a minimum time. It is
amazing what you find on audits! Contact us if you
would like to find out what your PI system can do
for you!
