"We have been using OFS for nearly 10 years now, and this new version, OFS-3, has been taken on by all our operators with much more ownership than we have ever seen before. OFSlive™ is definitely the way forward for the future, it’s one of the best things I have seen in our business for ages."

"OFS is today an integral part of our business – we would not consider operating without it. The OFS tools have exceeded our expectations and the new initiatives we are seeing, such as OFSLive are particularly compelling... we see this as a very exciting direction for us in the future."

“Before OFS we used to report 90% efficiency.... On the first day of using OFS we realised that we had been fooling ourselves, and our efficiency was closer to 50%. After getting over this shock, we began to use OFS as our core operational management system.... and over the next 18 months, we nearly doubled our capacity. Today we really are running at 90% efficiency. “We could not run our plant the way in which we do now without OFS.”

“Our entire production focus has been changed. All key managers are present to review machine speeds, stoppages and production schedule status, always aiming to be ahead of targets. We use OFS to collect stoppage reasons which are then assigned to managers. Each manager is then held accountable to stoppage KPIs and targets in their area of responsibility. OFS makes this possible through its ‘swipe card’ security features. In this way, OFS has helped us to create ownership and accountability at all levels of our business. Our managers now come to meetings prepared, having identified the issues and root causes and advise actions being taken to prevent recurrences.”
