Food & Beverage SCADA + OEE Playbook

Most OEE programs fail because event reasons are inconsistent and unavailable in real time.

Track micro-stops separately from major stops to expose hidden capacity loss on packaging and filling lines.

Review top losses weekly with operations, maintenance, and QA to convert data into action.
