Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) What is it, and how do I use it?

How do you measure your equipment productivity?  Where do I start looking to make improvements on my machinery?  What is my machinery really capable of?

 

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is the tool you use for improving the metrics on your machinery.  OEE is a standardized measurement system, but there are a lot of misconceptions about using it….

During this workshop, attendees will learn the basics of OEE (measuring the 6 major losses), see real life examples (pictures, data from the shop floor), discuss categories of losses, and how to approach each loss and eliminate/minimize them. In order to ensure learning, attendees will work with actual case studies, calculate OEE%, categorize losses, & develop an improvement plans.

Attendees will come away from this presentation with a better understanding of the 6 major losses used to calculate OEE, how they are used to create an improvement plan and how they can apply these to real-world opportunities.
