variance analysis

Deviation analysis: target/actual comparison for data-based optimization of plant performance.

A variance analysis is a systematic method for identifying and evaluating differences between planned target values and the actual values actually achieved in technical systems.

How it works

First, clear performance indicators (KPIs) defined as target values (e.g. games/h of a stacker). The real performance data are then collected and the deviations and their causes are analyzed.

areas of application

Deviation analysis is a central tool as part of technical advice or for preparing a modernization strategy. It is used to evaluate performance, troubleshoot and identify optimization potential.

benefits

It provides an objective, data-based basis for decisions. Instead of acting based on assumptions, targeted improvement measures can be derived, which leads to a sustainable increase in plant performance.
