How to Improve OEE – Any Questions?
Ask any Quality or Engineering manager and they will tell you that measurement systems are valuable tools to identify problems and opportunities. The measurement system itself is not the answer – it is the data source, the EVIDENCE that drives the questions. It is a part of the discovery and validation process to confirm the opportunity or problem and the effectiveness of the solutions to resolve it. A well […]

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 […]

OEE, Downtime, and TEEP
We have received several inquiries regarding equipment down time – periods of time when the machine is not scheduled to run. We consider this to be scheduled down time or idle time and does not affect Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), since no production was planned during this period. OEE measures overall equipment effectiveness during planned production or SCHEDULED up time. Do […]
