In a bid to address the evolving landscape of manufacturing, the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) is set to host a three-hour program focused on improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and achieving manufacturing excellence in the era of industry 4.0.
Traditionally, production and productivity measurement on the shop floor have relied on logbooks and Excel worksheets, representing data as a historical record. Companies employed various methods for productivity calculations, leading to the need for a standardized metric like OEE. Overall Equipment Effectiveness serves as a key metric to measure productivity, and real-time measurement of OEE is increasingly crucial in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.
As companies transition towards Industry 4.0, there is a growing demand for automated productivity monitoring and control systems. The upcoming seminar will delve into the principles of productivity measurement through OEE, offering participants insights into implementing automated monitoring systems for substantial productivity improvements.
Key Focus Areas of the Program:
- Productivity Metrics using OEE
- Dispelling common myths in calculating OEE and accounting for losses
- Online monitoring of OEE – Software solutions for measurement
- OEE’s relationship with Industry 4.0
Key Takeaways for Participants:
After completing the program, participants can expect to gain:
- A comprehensive understanding of calculating OEE
- Insights into monitoring OEE using software solutions
- Appreciation of the benefits of OEE monitoring
- Recognition of other waste (Muda) unrelated to equipment
- Understanding the role of automated productivity systems in Industry 4.0
Participation Details:
- Fee: Rs. 4000/- +18% GST | USD 160/-
- Group Concession: 10% for 3 to 5 delegates, 30% for 6 or more delegates from the same company
The program will be conducted by Mr. Ganapathi K N, Advisor Training at IMTMA, bringing a wealth of industrial and academic/training experience to the seminar. With a background in mechanical engineering and extensive expertise in Lean tools, GD&T, materials, metallurgy, and more, Mr. Ganapathi K N is well-equipped to guide participants through the intricacies of productivity improvement in the manufacturing sector. Participants are encouraged not to miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into OEE and Industry 4.0 at the IMTMA seminar.
