The document discusses the importance of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in optimizing manufacturing efficiency, emphasizing its role in driving improvements, monitoring performance, and reducing costs. It outlines the components of OEE, such as availability, performance, and quality, and the necessity of a culture that supports its implementation across all levels of a company. Additionally, it highlights the value of real-time data collection and reporting in continuous improvement initiatives like lean manufacturing and Six Sigma.

Helping you see more clearly
Understanding OEE
Richard Stone
Lean Manufacturing Manager

2. Why look at OEE
► “Make more for less” or
“Make the same in less time”
► Efficiency & Capacity gains
► A measure for driving improvements
► Monitors Downtime, Speed and quality
► OEE has a direct effect on your Labour,
Materials and Energy costs

3. What is OEE
Shift Time
Planned Production (A) Planned Stoppage
Actual Production Time (B)
Output at theoretical speed (C) Unplanned Downtime
Actual units produced (D)
Total Pieces Produced (E) Speed / Minor stoppages
Good Parts (F) Quality Losses
Value Adding Time Wasted Processing time
OEE = Availability (B/A) * Performance (D/C) * Quality (F/E)

4. What is OEE
Two main aspects of each OEE component…
Availability : Actual vs. planned production time
1. Equipment setup
2. Equipment breakdowns
Performance : How process is running compared to its target rate
1. Speed reductions
2. Minor stoppages (“micro-stops”)
Quality : Percentage of first-pass quality
1. Setup yield
2. Production yield

5. Is OEE a burden on you ?
► Generating a number is great but what are
you going to do with it.
► We see manual OEE systems which are
fantastic in introducing the concept ,but end
up becoming a burden on the company.
► Collecting of Data
► Processing of data
► Do we actually make improvements

6. Why SolutionsPT Solutions
► Real-time plant connected
► Wonderware has the shop floor data collection technology
► Allows you to react to production issues as they occur
► Use data to act as incentive systems for operators
► Collection of all the downtime reasons accurately and to
the level of detail you need
► Collection of performance losses. These are often bigger
than availability losses. Become accepted working
practice.
► Efficient data collection and reporting
► Realtime and manual data entry

7. Plant Visibility for Continuous Improvement
► Why do we do OEE? part of a CI program,
Lean, Kaizen, 6 Sigma.

6 Sigma Kaizen

8. Creating a circle of improvement
► What is OEE actually doing
► It transforms data into information
Production Paper based Data, Data to Production
Facility data collection Data, information Reports
Data

9. Removing Waste from the process

Real-time Visibility
Continuous
Improvement
Wasteful Processes
Historical Production Reports

10. OEE Supporting 6 Sigma
► 6 Sigma uses data
► Define
► Measure
► Analysis = Information
► Improve
► Control

11. OEE Supporting Kaizen & Lean
► Kaizen = Japanese for Continuous
Improvement
► Adding value and removing waste
► Support Kaizen Events / Blitz
► Lean Manufacturing
► Helps you understand your Value Stream.
Cycle times, transfer times, effects of raw
material & labour

12. The company culture
► For OEE to be affective all levels of the
company must understand and use it.
► Finance for cost control
► Energy team for efficiency improvements
► Maintenance - downtime and TPM planning
► Quality - Yield levels, rejects in the process,
giveaway.
► .....

16. “Zero Footprint” Web-Based Reporting
►Flexible Report Templates
▪ OEE & Downtime
▪ Production Event Summary
►Extensible
▪ Easily create report
instances for specific users
►Wired for Analysis
▪ Drill through by passing
parameters
▪ Determine root cause of
production problems

17. Drill Down Reports

18. Benefits of OEE
- Are your lines stopping because raw materials aren’t being delivered to the lines ontime
- Are you looking to reduce production costs
- Are you losing production capacity due to excessive rework
- Can you accurately see the effect change over's are having on production output
- When you start a new production run can you get up to speed as quick as you want
- Is waste effecting your yield levels and effecting your output
- If you could improve your line efficiency would it affect your energy usage
- Would it help if you were able to find your production bottlenecks
- Can you really see the effect that minor stoppages are having on your performance
- Do some of your operators manage to get better production rates and would you like to know why
- Would you like to know your most common downtimes are so you can drive an effective TPM program
