OEE

Body: 

Before you get stressed out with your company’s productivity or the lack thereof, you have to assess what you’re missing. Every company has it, may it be ineffective marketing strategy, disorderly organization, unproductive equipment etc. If you’re having problems with the hardware or equipment used by the firm for manufacturing then a good system is needed to be put in place. This is the moment when smoothly operating equipment is crucial to make substantial returns for the company.

Many experts believe that a lot of processes employ machines to add value to what clients pay for and this is true in a setting that is widely competitive. For instance, a toy company that produces thousands of products daily for the local and international market requires factory machines to work dependably and at their optimum pace to supply products when customers or the industry needs them. But it’s evident that factories throughout the globe are plagued with equipment problems of one kind or another. So it’s essential that company owners understand and evaluate their business’ Overall Equipment Effectiveness or its OEE. Generally, OEE measures how well the equipment is running. It can specifically show how much of the time the machine is actually doing well and what percentage or portion of the output is of good quality, not just the amount of products or output the machine is turning out.

What’s more, OEE is not just for maintenance anymore since the approach can help predict problems in the future and may allow some monitoring of the equipment’s health as well. It involves a step-by-step computation which is part of the general framework. Of course, if you want to know more about the system and how it mainly works then consulting experienced trainers or consultants is the best way to understand the key components and its application.
