Overall Equipment Effectiveness

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.

Calculation components of the OEE

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.

image

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.
