Unlock 5–10% hidden production capacity — without new investments

Most manufacturing organisations are already sitting on untapped production capacity. Hidden inefficiencies, unplanned downtime, and fragmented data prevent assets from performing at their true potential.

Even small improvements matter: A 5–10% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) can translate into millions in additional annual production value.

Why performance improvements stall

Despite significant investments in digital tools, many organisations still struggle to improve performance:

  • Data is fragmented across systems, teams, and workflows
  • Maintenance remains reactive instead of predictive
  • Decisions rely more on experience than structured data
  • Improvements are not embedded in day-to-day operations

The result is a continuous cycle of firefighting, recurring inefficiencies, and lost production capacity.

From fragmented operations to measurable results

IBM Maximo + Capgemini OEE connects technology with execution on the shop floor.

This is not about adding another system.
It is about creating a clear connection between:

  • Asset data
  • Maintenance processes
  • Operational decision-making

IBM Maximo provides a unified view of assets performance and maintenance activities.
Capgemini’s OEE capabilities ensures that these insights are translated into structured actions, enabling sustained improvements in productivity, reliability, and cost performance.

What you can achieve

Our joint approach enables fast, measurable impact:

  • Improved asset utilisation and production stability
  • Reduced downtime and operational costs
  • Increased output from existing assets
  • More predictive and data-driven maintenance
  • Stronger operational discipline across teams

This creates both operational and financial value, without additional capital investment.

How it works – fast and pragmatic

The approach is designed to deliver value quickly:

  1. 2-week performance assessment
    Identify key losses and quantify improvement potential
  2. Targeted pilot
    Validate value on selected production lines
  3. Scale across sites
    Deploy improvements in a structured and sustainable way

This ensures fast insights, low disruption, and measurable results from the start.

Build a more resilient and high-performing operation

By aligning systems with execution, organisations move from reactive operations to a proactive, performance-driven model, creating a strong foundation for continuous improvement.
