Complete Loss Data Is the Basis for Meaningful OEE Analysis

Part 1 Using OEE Effectively – Part 1: Why the Highest Value Is Not Automatically the Best explained that OEE is only meaningful and comparable when clear calculation rules apply. Yet even the best OEE standard is of little value if some losses are not captured at all. What is not known can neither be assessed nor improved.

Using OEE Effektively – Part 1:
Why the Highest Value ist Not Automatically the Best

Many companies use OEE to assess the performance of their equipment and therefore aim to achieve the highest possible value. Yet machines operate under different conditions: product mix, batch sizes, setup frequency, level of automation and machine age all influence the result. At the same time, the OEE calculation itself allows considerable scope for interpretation. A low OEE is therefore not automatically a poor OEE – what […]
