This article continues the series of publications on the results of the recent resource efficiency benchmarking study of Russian ferrous foundry industry. The author highlights how foundries can improve their operational performance by looking specially at two of seven key performance indicators (KPis) - total effective equipment productivity and capacity utilization. Next articles in this series will present benchmarking results and recommendations for further improvements in another four KPis: energy consumption, sand consumption, fresh water consumption, labor productivity. The basis of the informations are statistical data from the russian foundry industry and from GEMCO Engineers BV/Knight Wendling GmbH. The data are defined in best praxis and in avarage praxis data.
