Case Study: Diageo achieves 25% OEE increase with Epicor Informance EMI

Diageo accelerates performance with a sip of mobile technology from Epicor

Diageo, a global leader in premium beverages with brands like Johnnie Walker, Guinness and Smirnoff, needed a way to capture and analyze real-time production metrics to drive its manufacturing excellence program, align plants and management, and prioritize high‑impact improvement initiatives across North America.

Using Epicor’s Informance EMI manufacturing intelligence suite — including a mobile iPad app — Diageo gained real‑time, granular visibility into plant and line performance, prioritized fact‑based actions, and spread best practices across sites. The rollout delivered measurable results: a 25% increase in OEE, improved product quality and waste reduction, and faster, data‑driven decision making from the shop floor to the C‑suite.
