S5:E9 Overall Equipment Effectiveness with John Oskin

In this week's episode, John Oskin, CEO of Sage Clarity Solutions, emphasizes the need to use OEE to identify losses and stratify them to determine their causes, recommends excluding planned maintenance from OEE calculations, and stresses the importance of real-time feedback and intelligent root cause analysis using AI and digital twin concepts. Oskin also notes that while AI is changing every industry quickly, there is still a human element required to understand and use the data. The biggest takeaway that John hopes listeners will take from the discussion is to start taking action today to advance their asset management digitization strategy.
