Dogs Chasing OEE

Dogs instinctively chase cars, but when they catch one, they don’t know what to do and simply stand next to the car and bark at it.

This resembles managers chasing magical metrics like OEE. When given the metrics, they are paralyzed and start philosophizing over the numbers. Besides, these magical numbers measure the past, which is impossible to change.

To avoid this costly inaction, I advise implementing the business process as a managerial context first.
