Case Study: Diageo North America achieves 25% OEE improvement with Sage Clarity

Diageo accelerates performance with a sip of mobile technology from Epicor

Diageo North America, a premium beverage manufacturer, sought a solution to improve its manufacturing performance by capturing and analyzing real-time production data across its US facilities. Their challenge was to expose performance improvement opportunities, align plants with fact-based problem-solving, and focus on high-return initiatives. To address this, they partnered with vendor Sage Clarity and implemented the Epicor Informance EMI enterprise manufacturing intelligence suite.

The solution from Sage Clarity provided real-time business analytics and granular plant-level metrics, which were made accessible via a mobile iPad application. This enabled Diageo to prioritize improvements and develop data-driven action plans. The measurable impact was significant, resulting in a 25% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within a year, along with improved efficiencies and reduced costs across the enterprise.
