Overall Equipment Effectiveness

OEE: A powerful lean tool to maximise Equipment Efficiency

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the global standard for measuring equipment capacity utilization. By assessing three core aspects – Availability, Performance, and Quality, OEE helps to know how well a manufacturing process is performing relative to its full potential.

Organizations prioritising equipment performance are assured that their assets are being utilized efficiently, driving maximum output while minimizing costs. By leveraging Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), companies can optimize equipment performance, leading to increased productivity, cost reductions, and enhanced competitiveness. Maximizing OEE ensures that every asset operates at its full potential, contributing to a more streamlined and profitable operation.

We specialize in helping manufacturing companies improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), a key metric that drives productivity, reduces costs, and enhances quality. With our proven strategies and deep industry expertise, we help you unlock the full potential of your operations.

OEE transforms manufacturing from “running machines” to “maximizing value”. By systematically addressing availability, performance, and quality, companies unlock higher output without capital investment and lower costs per unit.

Benefits of implementing OEE

Uncovers hidden Losses by identifying unplanned downtime, slow cycles, and defects

Drives Data-Driven Decisions with real-time, actionable insights

Prevent breakdowns by enabling predictive maintenance before they happen

Increase output to meet demands faster without extra costs and resources

Improves Equipment Reliability by analyzing patterns in downtime, performance, and quality losses over time

Increases Production Output by reducing downtime and improving equipment utilization


Steps of Implementing OEE

Measure

Collect Data to measure OEE

Gather data on your equipment’s downtimes, output & rejection to measure availability, performance, and quality to evaluate current OEE performance, identify key losses and estimate improvement targets and financial benefits.

Analyse

Calculate OEE Losses

Prioritize improvement initiatives by focusing on the most significant loss areas. Key contributors to OEE losses typically include equipment failures, changeovers, speed reductions, and quality defects.

Implement

Implement TPM pillars to reduce OEE losses

Identify and Implement Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) pillars to reduce OEE losses such as breakdowns, changeover times, Speed losses and defects.

Review

OEE tracking and dashboards

Continuous tracking of OEE and other key metrics to ensure that improvements are sustained over time. Implement systems and procedures to standardize best practices and prevent regression to previous performance levels.
