Performing a time study is relatively easy compared to only few years ago. The technologies available today allow studies to be conducted quite readily. Time Studies and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) The Performance factor for OEE is based on the Ideal Cycle Time of the process. For fixed rate processes, the Name-Plate rate may suffice but should still be confirmed. For other processes such a […]

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 […]

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 […]
