Digital Performance Management
Before and After
Front-line workers often lack visibility into shift performance, which can make it difficult for managers to prioritize the right corrective actions when problems arise. One common problem is the inability to measure overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in a timely way, which makes continuous improvement difficult or impossible.
When information about labor, assets, and processes is siloed, the resulting consequences can negatively affect the entire manufacturing enterprise:
A digital performance management solution provides real-time operational data for actionable, scalable performance insights. These insights enable comparison across units, lines, facilities, and systems. Here’s a glimpse of how a digital performance management solution helps manufacturers track progress as they transform their labor, assets, and processes to improve OEE and achieve continuous improvement.
Transforming
Labor
Without a real-time feedback loop when problems occur, front-line workers and supervisors are forced into a reactive approach, such as offering overtime when a shift is running behind.
After Digital Performance Management
Rapidly improve labor performance
A digital performance management solution provides a real-time feedback loop to identify performance issues in time to recover—and prevent future issues through a proactive, predictive approach that drives productivity and enforces shift accountability.
Before Digital Performance Management
According to Tech-Clarity, Stanley Black and Decker used IIoT to improve labor utilization from 80 to 92%.
92%
80%
Transforming
assets
High-level, disconnected, lagging data leads to misunderstood bottlenecks. And without full visibility into causes of downtime, workers lack insights needed for continuous improvement.

After Digital Performance Management
A digital performance management solution identifies where bottlenecks are impacting OEE and provides contextualized data in real-time, empowering workers with the information they need to engage in proactive problem-solving that drives continuous improvement.

Transforming
processes
Limited visibility into labor and assets makes it difficult for front-line workers to understand issues that impact performance against shift goals, creating a need to make up for lost time.
Before Digital Performance Management
Clear visibility into asset and line performance helps front-line workers avoid wasting an estimated 25% of an eight-hour shift trying to obtain information on immaterial tasks
After Digital Performance Management
A real-time production dashboard provides clear visibility into issues that impact OEE. A digital performance management solution adds to that visibility by providing feedback on your progress toward hitting shift goals and identifying replicable best practices for continuous improvement.
