When you’re hiring press operators, do you want hard numbers — e.g., cutting makeready from 22 to 11 minutes on a Komori Lithrone 40, sustaining 15k sph with about 1.2% waste, and a locked weekly PM routine (roller stripes set, 1,700 µS fountain, gripper lube) — on the resume, or does that read like fluff? I’m updating mine and trying to lead with process efficiency and maintenance discipline instead of generic duties.
Put the numbers in, but anchor each to a business result — e.g., “cut makeready from 22→11 on a Lithrone 40” plus “saved about 6 hrs/week, cut overtime 10%”; that’s what got me calls, @OP. I’d skip OEE jargon on the resume and say uptime, waste, and rate, then be ready to unpack the PM routine in the interview. What stock and run length were you holding 15k sph on?
Numbers are great if you show the conditions — e.g., “22→11 on a Lithrone 40,” 15k sph at about 1.2% waste, verified in press/ERP logs, and note stock, run length, and crew size. OEE drive‑by percentages, — either break it into availability/performance/quality or translate to outcomes (makeready sheets saved, overtime avoided). Was that 15k sustained over longer runs or just peak bursts?
Lead with one rolled‑up OEE and the three levers, then tie it to a business outcome — extra jobs per shift, fewer callouts, lower ink spend… @alice_cool91 is right on context; add the exact OEE formula you used so no one’s debating definitions. A line like “OEE 82%→88% (Avail 90, Perf 98, Qual 99), same crew and paper grade, added two short runs/day” tells the story — think trailer, not the whole film.
