Improving OEE in Food Manufacturing.
Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and inexpensive quality food, traits which don’t naturally align, so food manufacturing efficiency solutions must be sought.
Increased regulations and close governmental monitoring are testing food production facilities’ ability to produce. Changing consumer demand and a growing list of alternative nutrition products are pushing plants to find new efficiencies to maintain flexibility and improve OEE within existing food manufacturing facilities.
- Healthier options and updated packaging have become priorities.
- Manufacturers need to prototype, test and launch new products rapidly to meet consumer trends.
- Recalls are expensive in both the short term but also to long term reputation.

Fully guided process
Audit data, methodology and line balancing software, all in one
Not just production line balancing software, our team provides a guaranteed manufacturing line balance step-change. We’ll guide you through a data-informed audit, implement five levels of control and train your team to use LineView’s line balancing software – all for long-term results.
Built-in benchmarking
Line balance scores make benchmarking easy
Making production line balancing easy is the key to lasting results. Easy-to-understand production line balance scores for every product type with built-in baseline comparisons are built-in within LineView’s line balancing software. Teams can benchmark live data vs. historical- so you’ll never lose your capacity gains.
Additional performance gains
Optional controls to automate restarts and recover speed
Optional manufacturing line balance control unlocks additional performance gains between 2-5%. This supervisory line control module sets optimal restart times on core machines (filler, labeler, packer) to accelerate recovery after downtime.
Engineering
Process Engineering in today’s plant is ever-limited by time and capital resources but dictates complex engineering solutions that employ a suite of IT and OT tools. Gain valuable insight with an OEE software for food manufacturers, which provides you with a detailed understanding of individual asset performance and correlation to overall output.
- Measurement and improvement of maintenance and engineering KPI
- Identification of what is a maintenance versus an operational issue and prioritise resources
- Insight without a drain on internal engineering resources
Continuous Improvement
Continuous Improvement success is derived from cost savings and project ROI but you need buy-in from operators and supervisors. Validate your SMED, Kaizen, downtime reduction and machine efficiency CI projects with food manufacturing software and management solutions to quantify your success.
- System to identify and quantify Continuous Improvement initiatives
- Measurement and validation of Continuous Improvement activities
- Ongoing adherence and process optimisation
