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 […]

Availability and OEE
What is Availability? In its simplest form, availability measures the uptime of a machine or process against the planned production time. As one of the factors of Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), Availability is expressed as a percentage. The uptime is calculated by taking the difference between the planned production time and total duration of the downtime events that occurred during the planned production period. We […]

Problem Solving with OEE – Measuring Success
OEE in Perspective As mentioned in our previous posts, OEE is a terrific metric for measuring and monitoring ongoing performance in your operation. However, like many metrics, it can become the focus rather than the gage of performance it is intended to be. The objective of measuring OEE is to identify opportunities where improvements can be made or to determine whether the changes to your […]
