This document summarizes a presentation about measuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in food manufacturing. Some key points:
- OEE measures availability, performance, and quality of production equipment. It reveals reasons for underperformance like downtime, slow speeds, and rejects.
- Industry 4.0 technologies can help track detailed OEE data in real-time from sensors and use analytics to provide insights. This supports continuous improvement programs.
- A successful OEE program requires comprehensive data collection, continuous analysis of downtime root causes, cross-functional problem-solving teams, and linking OEE metrics to cost analysis.
- Special cases like fluids, slow processes, and critical yields may require tweaking
Production Line OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)Brian Thomas
This webinar session reviews utilizing a proven, lean manufacturing technique, called Overall Equipment Effectiveness, or OEE for short. DST Controls discusses what OEE is and why it is so important for modern manufactures to incorporate it in their operations. Barry Callebaut, a major chocolate producer, had no visibility into their process to determine if the proper amount of ingredients were used in their batch process. An OEE solution by Rockwell Automation was implemented to automatically track material loss, and company estimates they have achieved a $500k net annual gain through resultant ingredient optimization and product consistency.
Managerial and Technical skills of supervisorsNabila Naik
Supervisors work closely with employees of any given business. While some supervisors act as managers and tell people how to do their work, others work as part of a team and supervise with respect, loyalty and a positive tone of voice. It is often the small characteristics that define a good and enjoyable employee supervisor. Rather than telling people how to work, a good supervisor serves as an inspiration and provides guidance for hardworking employees.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), is *not* just about your machines or downtime improvements, it's a holistic indicator of your plant's health, efficiency, and productivity. Learn about the benefits of OEE and how to get started calculating this "best practices" KPI with resources at hand.

This article highlights both the pros and cons of implementing OEE in a manufacturing environment.
I have tried to include both the positive and negative elements to give a balanced view, and have also included some of the best practices that I have seen over the last 29 years that I have been working in the industry.
Although my background is as a software developer and in particular using the PlantRun and Prodigy software platforms, the concepts described here are universally applicable.
Lean software engineering emphasizes continuous delivery of high quality applications. Ken Pugh explains the principles and practices that form the basis of lean software development―concentrating on developing a continuous flow by eliminating delays and loopbacks; delivering quickly by developing in small batches; emphasizing high quality which decreases delays due to defect repair; making policies, process and progress transparent; optimizing the whole rather than individual steps; and becoming more efficient by decreasing waste. Ken describes lean’s emphasis on cycle time, rather than resource utilization, and demonstrates the value stream map which helps you visualize the development cycle flow to identify bottlenecks. He explores the differences between push and pull flow, describes how lean thinking shows up in agile processes including Scrum and Extreme Programming, and discusses how lean can be applied to the entire workflow—not just the development portion. Ken concludes with a discussion of how you can begin your lean transformation.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

OEE – Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Measure of achievement of the machine at standard
Think of it as the breakdown of reasons why your equipment is
underperforming – either because of stoppages, slow rates of processing or
incidence of rejects.

Goal: continuous analysis of OEE downtime data, implementing quick-hits based
on larger share of downtime or added cost
Process:
1. Gather data, organize top-down, focus on root-cause
2. Multidisciplinary committee that meets weekly basis. Production, maintenance,
leads and operators.
3. Explore dynamic factors: materials, scheduling, order processing, quality
inspections and holds.

Goal: reinforce PreOp inspections to include productivity drivers
Process:
1. Prioritize outcome of improvement committee
2. Think outside the box into those dynamic factors: material availability,
machine speed settings, line operator instructions, quality controls ready to
go, end-of-line packaging is set.
3. Think beyond the sheet of paper: automated PreOp inspections with

(PreOp for the shift)
Process:
1. Train leaders into identifying factors that
impede productivity
2. Build accumulated knowledge into a checklist
(or an hourly set of tasks)
3. Train and train again – productivity, leadership
skills, OEE math, costing, etc.

SuccessfulOEEprogram
Goal: leverage technology to provide automatic real-time productivity signals
to line operators
Process:
1. Identify the top factors that line operators can control to drive line
productivity (inspired by committee results)
2. Direct process engineers to provide signal screens at the line to encourage
real-time changes in behavior
3. Factors include: pieces/min, delays time, expected end time, and 15-min
interval display with rating of performance.

Different product categories require tweaking the performance goals and
formulas, including cases where:
- Process parameters drive yield (cheese)
- Process rates are very slow or produce one unit (mixed batches)
- Process of interest includes a continuous flow of liquids

In a cheese plant, gallons of milk and cream turn into pounds of curds and gallons
of whey, that are then packaged into blocks of a certain weight. We solve this
issue by switching to a mass-balance calculation and incorporate it into a
throughput analysis.

In a continuous flow fluid packaging operation (e.g. Brewery, soda, etc.) where the
properties of the batch are well-known (density, brix, etc.), the variance comes
from fill level.
