Your machines are running, but are they really performing?

The situation this course is for

Most manufacturers track uptime like it’s achievement. But availability without quality or speed hides waste. You're likely seeing inconsistent output, unexplained bottlenecks, or pressure to deliver more without new resources. OEE exposes the truth, but only if you know how to act on it.

Who this is for

A manufacturing or operations leader with hands-on responsibility for plant performance, already using or evaluating ERP systems like ERPNext, and seeking measurable improvements in throughput, yield, and accountability.

Who this is not for

This is not for executives looking for high-level summaries or consultants seeking buzzwords. It’s for those accountable for daily line performance.

What you walk away with

  • Diagnose the real causes behind low OEE scores
  • Implement a reliable OEE tracking system in under two weeks
  • Identify hidden capacity in existing lines
  • Communicate performance gaps with precision
  • Drive team accountability using real-time data
