Run efficient projects and ensure permanent change

In Danish Crown we are in the process of establishing the use of an OEE system (Overall Equipment Efficiency) to increase capacity, reduce costs, improve quality, and increase efficiency of our production lines.

The system gathers all information and data related to machines and facilities, enabling us to make data driven decisions, spot opportunities and inefficiency, and have a common language in Danish Crown. The process includes but is not limited to implementation of equipment, establishing Governance, delivering BI Dashboard solutions and securing validity of data.
