Overall Equipment Effectiveness
|
|
Overall equipment effectiveness provides a means to
measure the effectiveness of manufacturing operations ~
single pieces of equipments to entire manufacturing
plants. It uncovers hidden capability of the factory and
provides a complete picture of where time & money is
being lost.

OEE measures for three different kinds of waste in the
manufacturing process, viz., Availability (measures the
time the plant was actually available for production),
Performance (actual rate at which units were produced
compared to planned output) and Quality (amount of
production that conforms to quality standards).
|
|
OEE is generally associated with OPC controls.
Optiflow-Le provides OEE without OPC controls.

As with OLE, an improvement of 10% has a
huge impact on profitability. It is a measurement
tool which every manufacturer should have.
