What are six ways to maximize uptime?

Minimize production time used for maintenance - schedule it during off hours and regular inspections Monitor the ongoing production process - might use Statistical Process Control (SPC) to tell when parts are about to wear out or need replacing Minimize stoppage time (see how on next card) Use accumulators and conveyors Update the controls Consider if a new(er) machine is appropriate for this need

Multiple machines instead of one high capacity machine Various management approaches Use simulation to better understand the situation

What are the bold headings in the reading - How to Calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness: A Practical Guide

OEE Overview and Efficiency versus Effectiveness A simple example The A-P-Q's of OEE Availability Performance Quality Time Equals Money The Straightforward approach to OEE A practice definition of OEE Scope of Analysis OEE and the cost of quality The concept of Downtime as understood in availability A proven technique in manufacturing comes to packaging

Formal definition of OEE 2

OEE is defined as the product or cost function or interplay of all availability or uptime of the operative mode multiplied by the performance or actual resultant production speed (from actual dialled rate and ramping rates) divided by the normal or steady state speed and then multiplied by the quality or the output of quality product divided by the input of the critical component or aggregate of all the inputs (components consumed, lost, reworked, destroyed or unaccounted for during the production process).

Formal definition of OEE

OEE is the Overall Equipment Effectiveness of a defined production process during the defined operative period or mode in which all activities related to production, personnel and inputs are accounted for during all producing or dependent activities within a defined scheduled time or operative mode time.

How much production time is OEE typically calculated for?

One week's or one month's production of a given size and product (smaller slices might not give enough info) Looking at less than 10,080 minutes (one week) of operating time isn't significant
