Case Study: B. Braun Avitum Saxonia achieves shift-by-shift production insights and improved OEE with Jedox

B. Braun monitors capacity growth with Jedox

B. Braun Avitum Saxonia, a leading manufacturer of dialyzers, is preparing to double annual production to meet booming demand in China and India. To reach this target it needed tighter production monitoring and faster analysis to maximize machine utilization, optimize staffing, reduce scrap and ensure quality across multiple 24/7 plants that generate large volumes of barcode, measurement and manual waste data.

The company implemented a Jedox BI solution on Microsoft SQL Server to combine and prepare data for reporting, planning and ad hoc analysis. With Excel-like self-service dashboards, configurable ETL, end-of-shift target-vs-actual reporting and one-click OEE variance analysis, managers now get current production KPIs after each shift, the system is operated by a single power user, and decision-makers across production and quality use the platform to drive capacity and yield improvements.
