Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) - Is 100% the perfect number?
by Kiran Prabakaran, April 16, 2018
Leading automotive manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda emphasize their suppliers track and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
OEE is a measure of Performance, Availability and Quality. It identifies the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive. An OEE score of 100% represents manufacturing only good parts (Quality), as fast as possible (Performance) and with no down time (Availability).
OEE = Performance X Availability X Quality
Higher the OEE, the higher is the production output from a machine. A high OEE without adequate customer demand will lead to overproduction. Overproduction in turn will lead to higher inventory levels which impacts the cash flow. At the same time, a company having 100% OEE but failing to meet customer demands makes it less profitable. So, OEE of 100% is not always good.
OEE improvement should go hand in hand with lean manufacturing, waste reduction, downtime reduction and On Time In Full delivery.
