CHALLENGE

Coca-Cola needed a single, cutting-edge solution across all its facilities

The business wanted a single, cutting-edge solution across all their facilities to standardize the system and the approach through which site teams were reviewing performance and driving effective actions to improve plant productivity.

The systems varied from manual to fully automated data capture.
With manufacturing sites across Europe, it was no surprise to learn that Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE, now CCEP) had many different systems being employed to manage plant performance and were achieving mixed results.

SOLUTION

CCE introduces LineView™ sitewide to instantly and accurately identify the critical area of focus

CCE chose the LineView system as the standard production line monitoring system for their Supply Chain Division. Over three years, LineView has been implemented on every European production line to help increase efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs.

The visual user interface presents actionable information in an easy-to-read format, enabling rapid decision-making and allowing production teams to focus on taking effective action rather than analyzing and interpreting the data.

ABOUT

Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) is the exclusive Coca-Cola bottler for Europe including Great Britain, Belgium, continental France, Luxembourg, Monaco, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway. In 2015, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola Iberian Partners and Coca-Cola Erfrischungsgetränke AG formed Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP).

RESULTS

The availability of information – and potential for improvement made a giant leap forward

Once LineView was installed, the accuracy and availability of information and the potential for real improvement made a giant leap forward. The system has been implemented on more than 70 production lines across Coca-Cola Enterprises.

Site-wide increase in OEE of 20% within 24 months
OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness represents the percentage of manufacturing time that is 100% productive. A 1% improvement would itself translate to millions in additional revenue. Coca-Cola Enterprises plants improved their OEE by 20% less than 24 months of LineView™ implementation.

Improvement of 6% across the entire enterprise
Individual sites achieved an impressive 20% increase in OEE, while operations across the wider enterprise achieved a combined 6% improvement in production and distribution. The benefits of LineView™ extend beyond the production halls. We call this the ripple effect of efficiency improvement.

ROI delivered on logistics savings alone
An effective and efficient investment delivers the highest return on investment (ROI) for any business. Lineview delivered ROI for Coca-Cola Enterprises through significant savings in logistics costs. This improvement was driven by an overall increase in yield and consistent quality, leading to a more efficient supply chain and cost savings.
