What is OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness
The OEE, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (“Overall Efficiency of the Productive Resource”) is a performance index (KPI) to measure the production capacity of a production company. OEE helps to give a complex and general measure of the health of the plant or production line.
The advantages
The market is becoming increasingly competitive. For this reason, the OEE project immediately brings important advantages. These include:
Parameters and OEE calculation
The OEE is a global indicator that includes different types of inefficiency, such as setup and setup times, incorrect planning, scraps and rework. The formula for calculating the OEE formula is the product of the three fundamental components of production performance: Availability x Performance x Quality.
Availability
It is the ratio of worked time to available time.
Performance
It is the relationship between the parts really worked compared to the parts theoretically workable.
Produced quality
It is the percentage ratio between compliant parts to the total produced parts.
