Accelerate Continuous Improvement Initiatives

bottle topsLeading consumer packaged goods producers understand that localized improvements that come from adopting Lean approaches or Six Sigma methodologies provide a foundation that enables them to recover value all along their supply chains – lowering inventories, maximizing capital efficiency, and eliminating excess variable costs.

With Proficy Operations Management software, you can leverage actual process information by optimizing maintenance costs for physical assets, refining capacity planning for raw materials and real-time process orders, and integrating accurate reporting. It delivers enterprise manufacturing intelligence and helps you drive supply chain excellence by coordinating the real-time status of orders, inventory changes, and overall process performance.

To ensure quality, Proficy constantly compares all system inputs against defined targets and SPC Rules to ensure compliance to specifications and to alarm on out-of-spec conditions. It also provides sophisticated analytical tools that utilize leading-edge techniques to extract knowledge from existing historical process and manufacturing plant data and incorporate that knowledge into real-time actionable information. You can identify causes for production problems as well as opportunities for preventing these problems in the future to preempt alarms and failure events—quickly addressing root causes.

Furthermore, you can lean production by ensuring consistent work processes and more agility around capacity planning for materials and assets with Proficy Workflow. It digitizes and streamlines production processes—from work instructions and SOPs to corrective action and HACCP monitoring—to drive reliable, repeatable process execution every time.
