Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturing

Real world studies show significant opportunity for continuous manufacturing improvement

Best-in-Class manufacturers outperform their peers on a number of key performance indicators. Manufacturing benchmark studies reveal how laggards should focus their efforts to catch up, and how best-in-class manufacturers can do even better.

In order to develop a baseline for manufacturing efficiency for best-in-class and laggard manufacturers within the consumer packaged goods industry, Solarsoft studied 220 consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturing lines worldwide.

Researchers used Solarsoft's Informance Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence system, and IMPACT Advisory Services to collect data, derive insight and discover correlations to operational success of tactical and strategic actions.

Key Findings of the Manufacturing Benchmark Study

  • Best-in-class manufacturers achieve 1.8x overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) over laggard manufacturers.
  • Laggard manufacturers experience minor stops (stops with a duration of 10 minutes or less) 2.1 times more frequently than best-in-class manufacturers.
  • Best-in-class manufacturers exhibit an average changeover time of 17 minutes, as compared to laggard manufacturers at an average of 50 minutes.
