You can't improve what you don't measure. That’s why it’s essential to have both tools and technology that support monitoring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in your shop floor. Whether you calculate OEE manually or utilize a real-time automated system to monitor your KPIs, tracking your efficiency is critical to hit your production goals.
Why OEE is the most important metric in production processes
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key indicator of industrial productivity. The OEE calculation formula is based on three components:
- Availability: Measures productive machine time vs. scheduled time. In other words, the inefficiencies that are caused by machine downtime.
- Performance: Measures actual production speed vs. expected speed. That is, inefficiencies due to slow cycles.
- Quality: Measures good units produced vs. total units, meaning inefficiencies from defects in what you produce.
OEE is the standard metric used to evaluate the efficiency of each machine. By calculating the average OEE across all machines in your plant, you get a clear view of your overall plant efficiency and know which machines or lines aren't performing as they should. Regularly tracking this metric is what keeps manufacturing companies healthy and profitable, together with continuous improvement and lean manufacturing programs.
Looking for an easy way to measure your efficiency? If you are looking to monitor your KPIs or you are in need of a tool to support you with your OEE calculations, this free OEE template can help you standardize and simplify your tracking process.
