We have been using ProManage software for 10 years, as Eczacıbaşı - Lincoln Electric / Askaynak. First, we needed to make traceability of the products better so we met with ProManage. The solution they provide met our demands perfectly.
We spent three mounts in geography and country conditions to determine the most professional team and software. ProManage’s professional staff, with excellent cooperation was immediately adhered to system immediately. In the first year, OEE, TEEP and KPI benefit values increased by 10% with manual follow-up after installation, frequent trainings and analyzes.
Before using ProManage, we were not able to prepare the detailed OEE analysis and downtime reports that we have now. Both reports were time consuming and difficult to get the right data. Since implementing the system, we have seen a 10-15% increase in the performance of our packaging lines.
ProManage system was the most convincing system for us in terms of logic, reporting system, data gathering methodology and well approach. The system has been more beneficial than our expectations and the employees easily acknowledged the system by user-friendly interface and lean solutions. Engineers generated many productivity projects as the outcome. The system has created 20% productivity increase in the organization less than 1 year term thanks to effective follow-up of OEE.
With the help of ProManage software, we have improved averagely 10% of our bottleneck equipment's cycle time and 15 points of the plant OEE value. With the approach of TPM system that "unmeasurable losses can not be improved", it also helped us to see the total effect of setup durations, major/minor stoppages, breakdowns and speed loss to improve them.
We have been utilizing this system since around one year to control and increase the productivity of the workers (min 5% achieved) and monitoring the machine utilization to take necessary actions. We strongly recommend utilizing ProManage system to the companies which want to monitor the production by an easy and effective method.
ProManage system has supported our TPM activities and Lean 6 Sigma projects. Since 2007 plant OEE improved by 20%, tool changeover times decreased by 80% and number of breakdowns decreased by 75%. By using ProManage reports, we can easily determine bottleneck processes.
We are thankful to ProManage for providing instant back-office service, continuously improvements and developments and innovative solutions of our new requirements. We appreciate ProManage employees for their transparent sharing of their valuable experiences.
By using ProManage system, our plant's OEE increased by 5% in 6 months. After 3 years, OEE has increased by 18%, breakdowns decreased by 20%, tool changeover times have decreased by 30% also with SMED activities. The system installed in 2 months easily.
