Upcoming OEE Topics – February 2009
OEE and Morale
Is employee morale impacting your OEE? If so, how much of a concern is it? As we wrote in one of our recent posts, “Perhaps the greatest “external” influence on current manufacturing operations is the rapid collapse of the automotive industry in the midst of our current economic “melt down”. The changes in operating strategy to respond to this new crisis are bound to have an effect on OEE […]

OEE Measurement Error
How many times have you, or someone you know, challenged the measurement process or method used to collect the data because the numbers just “don’t make sense” or “can’t be right”? It is imperative to have integrity in the data collection process to minimize the effect of phantom improvements through measurement method changes. Switching from a manual recording system to […]

We have explored Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) from several perspectives and how it can be used as an effective performance metric. The purpose of measuring and monitoring OEE, at a minimum, should be three fold: To ensure the current performance levels are sustained, To identify new opportunities for improvement, To assess the effectiveness of current improvement initiatives. The Culture of Continuous Improvement and […]

OEE For Dedicated – Single Part – Processes
OEE For Dedicated – Single Part – Processes Definition: Dedicated – Single Part – Process: A process that produces a single product or slight variations on a theme and does not require significant tooling or equipment changeover events. A single part process is the easiest application for a OEE pilot project. The single part process also makes it easier to demonstrate […]
