Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Visiprise solutions capture and provide the critical manufacturing data needed for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), a “best practices” metric that combines multiple manufacturing issues and data points to provide information about the manufacturing process. Through the analysis of this data manufacturers establish a framework for root cause analysis as well as a consistent, proven way to measure the effectiveness of lean manufacturing and other productivity initiatives.

Quality Control

Visiprise solutions play a major role in Quality Control and have some unique advantages in the market. These advantages include proactive monitoring of events, with support of feedback mechanisms for measuring activity on the shop floor and tracking; status reporting on the work order; quality management systems for trending and nonconformance reporting; visibility on component failures, as well as engineering for defect analysis and possible product/process re-design. Defect analysis is an essential requirement during product ramp-up where yields are often low initially.

Visiprise solutions support:

Statistical Process Control CAPA Audit

Pareto defect analysis Verified defects reporting Quality dashboards

Nonconformance Reporting

Nonconformance reporting and continuous process improvement are very important in industrial machinery & components. Visiprise solutions support nonconformance reporting and is inherently based on a continuous process improvement loop. Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA) reporting for product and process control is collected, visible, measured, and optimized.

Supplier Programs

Supplier programs are critical in industrial machinery & components, based on the volume of suppliers utilized. Visiprise solutions can play a role here based on functionality that supports the following:

Nonconformance reporting Genealogy Field service and repair

Supplier portal and dashboard Incoming inspection Quality and assurance audits

Six Sigma

Visiprise solutions support continuous improvement and Six Sigma quality processes by moving beyond the simple reporting of Pass/Fail test results to the sharing of real-time Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts and other quality data.

Operational Data Store

Visiprise solutions can provide timely, consistent and accurate data transmitted throughout their supply chain - from upstream suppliers to downstream distribution channels - in order to minimize working capital by decreasing total work in process inventory, including obsolete and scrapped parts.

IM&C manufacturers are able to gauge the relative performance of the product across plants and compare it to similar product builds at other plants in order to quickly identify and remedy any product-specific, process-specific or even plant-specific manufacturing issues. Multi-plant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be generated, which will show each plant's cost and quality metrics relative to other plants and provide the single, integrated view of worldwide manufacturing operations required to make informed demand allocation and product sourcing decisions.

As Maintained Bill of Material

Visiprise solutions can support the As Maintained Bill of Material, which is critical in industrial machinery & components field service and aftermarket processes.

WIP Tracking

Visiprise solutions provide manufacturers in the industry machinery & components industry immediate visibility into work-in-process (WIP) inventory on hand in order to improve production scheduling, resource utilization, and employee efficiency.
