We decided to implement Mestric because we saw that our production data, such as OEE, scrap, and downtimes, was not accurate because it was always based only on data from groups of managers or production workers.
At the beginning we had a few questions on our minds "what would the Mestric system bring to the company, what if we could react immediately to an actual jam on the machine itself and not after 3, 6 or 24 hours."
With that thought in our heads, we began implementing Mestric into our production process and have actually reduced machine downtimes and increased employee productivity knowing that the manager can check machine performance anytime, anywhere and actually respond in real-time.
The Mestric system itself is very easy to use for both employees and managers and is flexible for various changes that occur during production.
Our OEE has increased by at least 4.3% in the last three years that we have started using the Mestric system. All the glory goes to the implementation of Mestric, because based on the accurate downtime data we are receiving from Mestric, we can create a corrective action plan for each individual machine, i.e. for each product.
