In my assessments I've used a novel and innovative OEE & GWP calculator that I developed for my PhD to evaluate productivity, cost savings and eco-efficiency.Working as consultant with 25+ years experience in the process industry, including 7+ years dedicated to sustainability, I work closely with brand owners and supply chain.
