OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), is *not* just about your machines or downtime improvements, it’s a holistic indicator of your plant’s health, efficiency, and productivity.
OEE can be a blunt indicator that something in your plant is not quite right or it can be a precision tool that isolates bottlenecks and identifies root causes of production problems. Plant and Operations managers use OEE to benchmark and compare performance across plants, lines, shifts, or SKUs. As an aid in CI efforts, OEE illuminates which improvements are likely to be most fruitful. And, even the smallest gains (1-2%) in OEE can add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings.
If you’re not already calculating OEE, what’s the easiest way to get started?
In this webinar with live Q&A, Robert Mirrielees, APICS instructor (CPIM, CSCP, CLTD) and Principal of North American Operations Consulting, discusses the benefits of OEE and outlines how to get started calculating it with resources at hand – and why every facility should pay close attention to this “best practices” KPI.
