An eight-point OEE uplift is achievable in mid-market manufacturing within twelve months. We see it consistently. What kills programs is the implicit headcount assumption: that the same engineers debugging line stoppages will also build, train, and maintain the predictive models.
The deployment shape that works
One focus line, three signal sources, one model owner who is not the line engineer. We typically nominate a process technologist, give them a managed-service back-end for the model, and put the engineer back on the line. The technologist owns the dashboard. The engineer owns the asset. The vendor owns the math.
