OEE ROI Calculator Review

The OEE ROI calculator for Memex hardware/software installations is a powerful ‘First Look’ Tool for Manufacturing organizations interested in taking control of improvements toward manufacturing excellence. It is intended to quantify the business case to install automatic data/information equipment to expose Hidden Factory improvement opportunities. It can also build a reasonably accurate account of “How Much Money is being Left on the Table every week that Manufacturing Best Practices aren’t executed?” The Calculator output quantifies the increase in Income From Operations (IFO or EBITDA) for Same Sales Volume and Sell Everything scenarios for various improvement criteria.
