The ACMI Teams Assessment and Gap Analysis
The ACMI 4.0 team came to assess Seneye’s performance, Seneye’s senior team were focusing on the following KPIs:
- Asset and equipment efficiency
- Workforce efficiency
- Utilities efficiency
- Planning and scheduling effectiveness
- Process Quality
To assess Seneye’s readiness for Industry 4.0 our team benchmarked their performance against industry best practice.
Seneye performed particularly well for its enterprise automation, enterprise connectivity, and their collaboration within the company and across its supply chain.
Although the assessment highlighted that connectivity and intelligence gathering could be improved at their facility, in-line with their KPIs, the ACMI 4.0 team has focused on how Seneye can digitise their supply chain and internal processes. This would help Seneye execute more accurate ordering, streamline communication between departments and companies, and improve customer service. Once these are optimised, digitising more of the production process will be easily achieved, and can be integrated into existing systems to make the most of the performance data.
Based on the priorities and outcomes from the assessment, the ACMI team supporting Seneye to prioritise four key areas from the assessment. The team then goes on to help support Seneye by providing a number of solutions that could be adopted in the company in order to improve performance in key areas in order to drive down costs, increase efficiency and increase the organisations competitive advantage.
