12. OEE Definition
Productivity Increases
The OEE Industry Standard gives a guideline in
order to find ALL potential losses in effectiveness.
WHY?
An average machine in an average factory runs
about 35 to 45% OEE.
So it is losing 55 to 65% capacity!
While; - not running
- running at reduced speed
- or producing parts out of spec.
How come then, that the average management reports
numbers way over 80%?
It is a matter of definition, What you are not looking for
you will not find.
To really reveal the hidden machines in your factory, ALL Losses need to be defined and visualized.
