5.0 out of 5 stars The Hidden Factory Unlocked, April 24, 2002

mike moll (Rochester, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Overall Equipment Effectiveness: A Powerful Production/Maintenance Tool for Increased Profits (Hardcover)

As a practitioner of Equipment Reliability and the person responsible for Equipment Operational Effectiveness, I found Mr. Hansens' views of OEE extremely accurate and useful. His interpretations and the posturing of OEE with factory output demonstrates the importance of reliability to the corporate bottom line. Many companies continuously ignore the importance of unlocking the hidden factory and don't realize the waste generated by ignoring OEE concepts. Mr. Hansen, in 274 pages, gives a complete and compact version that any corporate manager, by being proactive and a visionary, can utilize to change costs into profits. Reliability and OEE technologies appear to be fairly new to much of the industrial world. Mr. Hansen decribes in his book a cultural change, that if followed,will help produce a payback welcomed by any corporate institution. His writing is easy to understand by both new and old Reliability/OEE practitioners. He has written in an orderly fashion with each chapter building on, and complementing the previous. The book describes in a step by step fashion the concept of true OEE, which when practiced will unlock the hidden factory. As Mr. Hansen points out; "If you are not supporting Reliability, then you are supporting failures".

This review is from: Overall Equipment Effectiveness: A Powerful Production/Maintenance Tool for Increased Profits (Hardcover)

Improving the manufacturing plant can goes nowhere if you go blind. Seiichi Nakajima gave that vision by his OEE's ideas. And this book..., this book can make that vision better and better...

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Overall Equipment Effectiveness: A Powerful Production/Maintenance Tool for Increased Profits (Hardcover)

I read this book because the work has already started with the implementation of OEE. I believe this book offers a solid foundation to meet with OEE and related theories. In the book, several sample cases are putted forward by the author. Recommended!
