To help our manufacturing clients achieve overall efficiency improvements of 10-30% with Sustema’s unique Total Production Efficiency methodology and Enterprise Manafacturing Intelligence.

What is Sustema ? 

Sustema is actually a Greek word meaning rigorous interrogation of systems and we apply this philosophy in each of our client engagements.  We are a production efficency specialist company who provide consultancy, design, project management, implementation and engineering support contracts; offering focused programmes that deliver quantified and measurable results. 

What is Real Time ?

Determining the real effectiveness of a production line is far from simple. It is even more difficult to calculate production line effectiveness on-line, based on real time signals form production or business processes.  Operators and supervisors need up-to-the-minute information in order to optimise production.   Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a Key Performance Indicator of how machines, production lines or processes are performing in terms of availability, speed (performance) and quality.  OEE is one of the best measures of performance, and this information is now available in real time with Sustema and Enterprise Manafacturing Intelligence.

Sustema’s TPE methodology looks at connecting the production value chain.  It is this connectivity, and intelligent use of this real time information that is vital for our clients.  For some to maintain competitive advantage within their market, for others it could mean the difference between survival and failure for UK manufacturing companies.

Why Sustema ? 

It is estimated that plants still waste up to 40% of their productivity through unplanned stops and interruption, speed losses and quality defects.  Some Production managers already using OEE ratings, even with World Class ratings (above 85%) are still challenged with reducing production costs, and maximising their return on capital expenditure.  Sustema helps bring information in real time allowing immediate intervention with instant impact on waste and production cost.   

Whether your organisation uses Lean, Six Sigma or other methodologies; transforming your production environment to real time will put your continuous improvement programmes into overdrive.  

Many of the leading companies in the automotive, food and beverage, metals, pharmaceutical, chemical and process industries have implemented Real TPI solutions and have seen marked improvements in productivity.
