HIGHLIGHTS

Optimized Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Eliminated 60.5% of unplanned downtime
Delivered in 4 Weeks utilizing existing data flows

WHAT WE DID

Problem

Liggett Vector Brands was experiencing frequent unplanned downtime and line stoppage despite best-in-class maintenance and control systems. Enter BLDG25.

Solution

Using predictive analytics, BLDG25 used existing data to identify ways that Liggett Vector Brands could reduce downtime and maximize mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) to increase throughput of a production line on their manufacturing floor.

SCROLL

The Results

We found that dynamically synchronizing machine speeds across a production line maximized mean-time-between-failure (MTBF), eliminating 60.5% of unplanned downtime and optimizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

Informed Insights provides real-time Maker and Packer optimal speed predictions with visibility into the anticipated effect of each potential change.

  • Failure probability (Risk to Process) of implementing new speed
  • Projected increased production potential 
  • Target OEE given real-time line and shift conditions
