6. What is OEE ?
Overall Equipment Efficiency is a
measure of how healthy your production
process is relative to your planned
production schedule
Downtime Analysis (a key feature of OEE)
is an application that identifies problems &
trends within a facility to minimize the
impact of failures for individual machinery
and hence maximize the effiency of the overall
production facility.

7. Downtime Value Proposition
Eliminate non value-adding steps from the
improvement process
Timely (real-time) delivery provides context
Irrefutable – move on from arguing over data
validity, get on with solving problems
Quick wins early in cycle – accelerate Lean

9. Components of OEE
OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality

10. The Calculation
OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality
Planned Shift
A Planned Machine Production Time Idle Time
B Actual Running Time Stoppages
C Theoretical Machine Production Rate
D Actual Production Rate Speed Loss
E Pieces Produced
F Good Parts Wastage

11. The Calculation
OEE% = Availability % x Performance% x Quality%
Where;
Availability % = actual running time / planned cell production time
Performance% = pieces produced / the theoretical cell production rate
Quality % = good pieces / total pieces made
