24 Idhammar Systems Testimonials

"Idhammar’s OEE System is a powerful solution that plays an important role in supporting the world-class manufacturing required by Premier Foods."

“We want to be the leanest most responsive manufacturer of our type here, and create the capacity for future new products that are coming on stream.”

“With the Idhammar OEE System I have a handle on the top five production issues at each bakery and know what is being done to resolve them. The OEE system provides consistent, real-time and detailed reporting. It enables the individual Bakery Managers and their teams to drill down, find the underlying problems and quickly address them.”

“This means the information flows from production to me and then on to the engineers."

"I would like Big Bear to harness Industry 4.0 technologies to gather maintenance and manufacturing performance data. Data analysis will become the driving force behind operations improvements in the food manufacturing industry, and I want Big Bear to be part of it.”

“We have seen real sustainable improvements in our assets through reducing the six losses of OEE. One particular asset was running seven days a week and still struggling to meet customer demands. Now it typically does the same volume in four-and-a-half days.”

“Now when a machine shuts down, an operator has to enter the reason for the stoppage onto the touch-screen before the machine can be restarted, meaning we have shop-floor buy-in plus an accurate record of everything that happens to that machine.”

“We wanted to define what information was important to us."

"Since using Miquest our lost equipment has fallen to just £500 a year due in the main to regular inventories being performed by Station Staff."

"It’s genuinely surprising, the losses identified would have been unquantifiable without Idhammar OEE, and with the right training from Lauras, the Improvement team knows exactly what to do to drive the biggest benefits to the site."

“Lauras International’s consultancy has been invaluable; through coaching and developing our internal line managers, we are now equipped to drive through operational changes.”

"On average, on a weekly basis there are just under 4000 tests completed by crews across the service. Since Miquest went live, over 2200 defects have been logged on the system, and 31 of these were Near Misses or RIDDOR incidents."

"We were looking for a system that could help us build a business case to replace machinery when needed. We wanted facts and figures, which could show results of such efforts. Idhammar’s OEE system has been a good solution to our needs."

"With Idhammar’s OEE System, I am able to write reports which will prove vital for future strategy and production choices."

"We chose a dedicated CMMS because it is specifically designed to support the maintenance team and provides the functionality and analysis capability we need to improve plant maintenance."
