Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures the efficiency of machines during their loading time. OEE figures are determined by combining the availability and performance of equipment with the quality of parts made. Availability is affected by planned and unplanned downtime. Performance considers the actual speed of the machine compared to the ideal cycle time. Quality yield looks at the total quantity of good parts produced compared to the total processed. An OEE calculation takes the product of these three factors - availability, performance, and quality yield - to determine the overall equipment effectiveness percentage.
