Read the MPI white paper.

MPI is the missing link between productivity data and profitability. Read the whitepaper to learn more about putting MPI to work for your manufacturing enterprise.

Manufacturing Performance Index

OEE's Constraints

OEE can be a misleading euphemism for manufacturing performance. It lacks the depth in three key areas.

Manufacturing Performance Measure and Improve

Measure and Improve

MPI links plant productivity and financial performance to highlight the potential impact of plant improvements.

Implementing Manufacturing Analytics

Implementing MPI

MPI can be measured top-down using minimal inputs, or bottom-up as an aggregate of OEE across the whole factory.
