Closed Loop Performance Management Report Sponsored by Hertzler Systems
Matthew Littlefield, a Senior Research Analyst with the Aberdeen (News - Alert) Group and author of the benchmark report Event Based Manufacturing Intelligence: Creating Closed Loop Performance Management states, "Manufacturers attempting to improve both operational and corporate performance should first examine the overall structure of their business processes. As a general theme, we find Best-in-Class manufacturers are most significantly differentiated from their competition by the incorporation of real-time data into these processes. Specifically, Best-in-Class manufacturers are more than twice as likely as Laggard manufacturers to: monitor exceptions on the plant-floor in real-time, use real-time data in production optimization processes, and in using real-time data for production release and control." Furthermore, Littlefield states, "To incorporate real-time data into business processes many of the Best-in-Class are looking towards technology. In fact, 55% of the Best-in-Class are currently using automated SPC (Statistical Process Control) software, which makes them 38% more likely than Laggard manufacturers to be doing so."
Hertzler Systems Inc. announced the availability of a new landmark research report by the Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HSS). The report reveals that Best-in-Class manufacturers realize 24% more On Time Deliveries, have a 30% higher level of OEE, a 29% higher overall Yield, and enjoy 33% higher profit margins when compared to Laggard manufacturers.
According the Evan Miller, President of Hertzler Systems, the report confirms anecdotal findings. "Best-in-Class performers apply processes and real-time data differently from the rest of the population," he said. "This is the first independent study that we've seen validate our experience across a wide population," said Miller.
