We recently received an e-mail regarding OEE calculations for batch processes and more specifically the effect on down stream equipment that is directly dependent (perhaps integrated) on the batch process. While the inquiry was specifically related to the printing industry, batch processing is found throughout manufacturing. Our more recent experiences pertain to heat treating operations where parts are loaded into […]

Benchmarking OEE
Benchmarking Systems: We have learned that an industry standard or definition for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has been adopted by the Semi Conductor Industry and also confirms our approach to calculating and using OEE and other related metrics. The SEMI standards of interest are as follows: SEMI E10: Definition and Measurement of Equipment Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability. SEMI E35: Guide to Calculate Cost of Ownership […]

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 […]
