FrontLine OEE - coming soon!
Tracking and increasing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness of manufacturing
assets and cells
OEE = AVAILABILITY x PERFORMANCE RATE x QUALITY RATE
Overview
Frontline OEE is an easy-to-use, uncomplicated, situation analysis and problem solving tool. It can be used to measure and analyse performance in any production or manufacturing environment. It will track the Six Big Losses and calculate Availability, Performance Rate, Quality Rate - and OEE.
As cost pressures increase and global competition bites into profits, no manufacturer set on long term survival can ignore the OEE methodology.
OEE is an essential strand of the Lean Manufacturing strategy and the de facto manufacturing performance metric. Its use enables resolute managers to boost production volumes and business returns without capital expenditure on new equipment - by 'sweating' their existing production assets.
OEE enables the production bottlenecks and pinch points to be verified without question, the prime reasons for losses to be positively identified and ranked - and the actions that will deliver the most rapid and advantageous gains decided.
What you can do
- Identify and attack the root causes of production losses - downtime, slow running and rejects
- Dramatically increase the production capacity of existing facilities by exploiting the 'hidden factory'
- Quantify the penalties and opportunities of production bottlenecks and pinch points
- Evaluate the product winners and losers - and best and worst-performing production cells and teams
