Teams in the food and beverage manufacturing industry are no strangers to analyzing data from the production line. Factory personnel have worked with paper reports outlining data gathered from the production floor in combination with whiteboards and clickers to look at downtime issues, consider possible solutions, and determine how to make overall improvements for some time. While the potential to generate considerable amounts of data exists without using analytics software, the possibility of letting the data get away and of not being able to analyze it is too great. To gain comprehensive and timely insight from paper reports, to find efficient methods of fulfilling action plans, and to follow up on action plans quickly are some of the hurdles in bringing data insights together with day-to-day operations on the factory floor.
Ready to Implement Continuous Improvement Software? Here's how:
- Compare solutions from other food and beverage manufacturers and from other manufacturing industries. Read case studies.
- Start small: Target a particular area in your factory first. Implement software and monitoring as a test run and go from there.
- Calculate your ROI
- Bring people in: Once you and your team have been trained on how to work with the software, all team members will have access to the data and can contribute to solutions together. This also makes sticking to the plan easier in the short- and long-term.
