The document discusses Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) which is an index that calculates equipment operating state and determines if the equipment is utilized to its fullest potential. OEE is calculated by multiplying availability, performance rate, and quality rate together. Availability indicates downtime, performance rate indicates losses from operating below standard speed, and quality rate indicates defects losses. Sixteen types of losses are categorized including equipment breakdown, changeover, speed losses, and defects. Formulas for calculating each component of OEE and examples are provided.
