Case Study: McBride achieves 20% OEE improvement with Factbird

Improving OEE by 20% within the calendar year

McBride, a manufacturer of private label cleaning products, faced challenges in gaining a transparent, real-time overview of its production line performance. The company's operators were burdened with a manual process of typing stop codes into an SAP system. To address this, McBride partnered with Factbird to find a user-friendly solution that would pinpoint problems without increasing complexity.

Factbird implemented its DUO system, which operates alongside existing IT infrastructure. The solution provided dashboards with push-button stop-code reporting, replacing the manual data entry. This gave operators and production managers immediate visibility into line performance and problem areas. By embracing the Factbird system, McBride has already seen a 4% boost in OEE and expects a total improvement of 20% within a calendar year.
