What is Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)?

The overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of production machinery is an advanced


measurement method, with which you can determine how effectively the production
machinery or production line is able to carry out its tasks. OEE calculation is based on three
factors: availability, speed, and quality. OEE is a tool that helps focus the improvements in the
right places and ensure that they are as effective as possible. The key to improvement is to
remove factors that limit production.
Why is OEE measured?

It is important to have reliable data on your production. Operators, supervisors, development


personnel, and managers need valid, up-to-date information. Measuring your OEE affects the
operators and your company, but also your customer relationships: your delivery reliability
improves, capacity increases, costs decrease and become more manageable, and the the
effectiveness of labor increases.

Who can affect the OEE?

OEE is a production key figure, and at best your entire personnel can be committed to measure
and improve it. The operators naturally play a key role, but service personnel are also very
important in ensuring the availability of production machinery, and management and process
planners can tackle structural problems in your production. OEE is a common indicator that
shows you the right way to continuous improvement and minimizes part optimization.
