The Manufacturer’s OEE Playbook

How to uncover your factory's hidden capacity in 6 days

(Without buying new machines)

This is a 6-day intensive email curriculum. Each day, you will receive one tactical lesson directly to your inbox, designed to be read in under 5 minutes.

You'll learn how to escape the trap of delayed paper logs, eliminate operational blind spots, and permanently uncover your hidden daily capacity, including:

  • How to expose the "invisible" micro-stops draining your lines and turn them into sellable production time.
  • Eliminating exhausting 90-minute data reviews and how to unite your departments around a single source of truth.
  • Replacing assumed changeover schedules with measured, repeatable standards to guarantee your schedule reliability.

Curated by Maintmaster's industry expert Robert Brannan, who has helped hundreds of manufacturers digitise their shop floors, eliminate thousands of breakdown hours, and transform siloed departments into unified, data-driven teams.

 

The exact operational roadmap consultants charge €10,000+ to deliver... finally available to you for free.

Is this you?

If you recognise any of these daily operational headaches, The Manufacturer’s OEE Playbook was written specifically for you.

  • You're exhausted by the daily finger-pointing between Production and Maintenance over whose spreadsheet is accurate.
  • You're struggling to hit daily quotas because you only see the final, sanitised numbers after the operators have already gone home.
  • You're constantly fighting the reactive "break-fix" cycle because minor jams and 45-second faults are never properly documented.
  • You're trying to secure a capital CI budget, but you lack the undeniable, mathematical proof to show leadership where the real bottlenecks are.
  • You feel like your factory's capacity is capped, but you know your machines could run faster if you could just see the real-time data.
  • You want to transition from a culture of subjective gut-feelings to a highly optimised factory that attacks problems together.

A sneak peek of what's inside…

  • Day 1: Trap #1 — Waiting until the shift is over to find your bottlenecks
  • Day 2: Trap #2 — Allowing variations in changeover times to kill your capacity
  • Day 3: Trap #3 — Focusing only on catastrophic breakdowns while ignoring "invisible" micro-stops
  • Day 4: Trap #4 — Wasting time debating whose data is accurate instead of fixing actual performance gaps
  • Day 5: Trap #5 — Expecting your teams to hit production targets while forcing them to work blind
  • Day 6: Trap #6 — Guessing where to focus your CI efforts instead of letting live data dictate your priorities

Still not sure whether The Manufacturer’s OEE Playbook is for you?

99% of manufacturing floors run on gut feelings and delayed data. They wait until the shift is over, make the right behaviour harder than the wrong behaviour by relying on manual logs, waste morning reviews reconciling conflicting spreadsheets.

And they wonder why their capacity has flatlined...

Meanwhile, top-tier factories tracking live OEE are recovering hours of highly profitable, sellable production time every single week.

The difference is this:

Optimised factories don't rely on delayed paper tracking. They don't plan capacity based on "assumed" changeover times, don't accept 45-second micro-stops as "just part of the job", and they don't expect their operators to hit targets while working blind.

They automate the data, establish a single source of truth, and use live evidence to ensure their continuous improvement efforts result in measurable, targeted impact.

This free 6-day course shows you exactly how to make that shift on your own shop floor.
