Case Study

OEE Improvement Across 8 Personal Care Lines

CHALLENGE

A leading personal care manufacturer was running at 62% OEE across 8 lines in two facilities, with high scrap rates and inconsistent operator performance.

SOLUTION

GPM deployed VIPs digital work instructions, implemented GPC real-time OEE monitoring, and conducted a 16-week productivity improvement program including operator coaching and SMED implementation.

RESULTS

  • OEE improved from 62% to 78% across all 8 lines
  • Scrap rates reduced by 35%
  • Changeover time reduced by 28% through SMED
  • Operator capability scores increased by 55%

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PLC and automation platforms does GPM work with?

GPM engineers have certified expertise across Siemens (S7, TIA Portal), Rockwell Automation (ControlLogix, Studio 5000), ABB (AC500, System 800xA), and Schneider Electric (Modicon, Unity Pro). We also work with Beckhoff, Mitsubishi, and other platforms.

Can GPM handle both new automation projects and upgrades to existing systems?

Yes. We are equally experienced with greenfield automation projects and brownfield upgrades. We specialise in legacy system modernisation where production continuity is critical and downtime must be minimised.

Do you provide on-site commissioning support for automation projects?

Absolutely. GPM provides full FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), SAT (Site Acceptance Testing), and on-site commissioning support as standard on all automation projects.

How do you ensure cybersecurity in industrial automation systems?

GPM follows IEC 62443 standards for OT cybersecurity in all automation projects. We implement network segmentation, access controls, patch management protocols, and remote access security as part of every automation design.
