Challenge 18 OEE- Wrap up

Hello All,

I trust that you are keeping well!

Firstly, apologies for the delay in wrapping this challenge up it’s just been go go on all fronts at work and at home.

I hope you all enjoyed the summit last week, amazing work from all those involved. So much to take in and the breath of topics covered was just amazing so much to learn from.

Challenge 18 also didn’t fail to deliver and there were some epic entries on what was a tough dataset and topic.

The idea sharing, collaboration, encouragement, feedback and willingness to help each other is brilliant to see and truly resonates with what we at Enterprise believe is the best way to learn and develop.

The standard of work from everyone was amazing.

The challenge didn’t yield as many entries as usual which I think was down to the dataset and maybe complexity of the actual data, something we will take on board going into the future challenges.

We always try to ensure that the challenges are real life scenarios that you are likely to face in the working world and as such sometimes due to sensitivity and confidentiality data can become somewhat skewed when anonymising as mentioned above this is something we are looking to improve.

If any of you have any suggestions or feedback we are always keen to hear so please do let us know.

The winner

A massive congratulations to @Paul.Gerber an enterprise grade report produced that was aesthetically pleasing and covered all the basis. It was evident @Paul.Gerber has spent a lot of time in researching around OEE and producing a technically sound report. A big congratulations and a massive achievement to take a second challenge win! Well done @Paul.Gerber a great entry!

There were also some highly commended efforts from @hastewar22 and @davidcenna both excellent entries that both had some excellent analysis and some great use of navigation and design.

I also want to take a moment to appreciate the efforts of one @Rachwen_Mesbehi who after missing a few challenges delighted us with another masterpiece. Rachwen was excluded from the competition to stop any conflicts of interest given that he is a colleague of mine who has worked with me on OEE in the past year. However there is much to be taken from this report a truly excellent report that from experience is exactly what many enterprises would be looking to implement. Thank you @Rachwen_Mesbehi for sharing.

Wow! I was on calls/in meetings all day today and just checking the forum for the first time. First, congratulations to @Paul.Gerber for an outstanding report and a well-deserved win on a very challenging dataset.

It’s an attractive report with excellent navigation and some interesting wrinkles (very nice use of the new spark line feature) but also “lean and mean” in that it gets directly to the questions at the root of the original brief. I could definitely envision this report running on the iPad of a floor manager in this business.

What we lacked in quantity of submissions in this challenge, we definitely made up for in quality. Particularly liked the process illustrations in @hastewar22 's entry and the dynamic narrative in @davidcenna. Great to see @Rachwen_Mesbehi back in the challenge game with a typically gorgeous and innovative entry.

Well done, all! And big thanks to @haroonali1000 for a fascinating and highly relevant scenario.

@darandavis ,

Three pieces of good news for folks who want to see how the top entrants in their Challenges work their magic:

  1. Challenge #17 winner @tweinzapfel is doing a webinar next week, walking through his awesome Environmental Indicators report from that challenge next week. I saw the draft video for that presentation last night and it’s excellent - I think viewers will learn a lot from the way he breaks down his report and does a series of deep dives into the most interesting components.

  2. Challenge #18 winner @Paul.Gerber has agreed to do a similar webinar for this entry. We are working on scheduling a future date for that one.

  3. Our long-awaited platform course in which seven of our experts do detailed walkthroughs of their favorite reports is scheduled for release in May 2022.

So, lots and lots of content coming that will help you understand exactly how these top entries are developed.
