Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Improve manufacturing reliability and product traceability with centralized processes and automated data collection.
How do you measure and evaluate plant floor productivity?
Do you use data or real-time actionable intelligence to identify areas of improvement?
Can you consistently run your plant at the highest level of productivity and quality?
What tools do you use to ensure continuous improvement?
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a way to monitor and improve the efficiency of your manufacturing process. It’s an internationally accepted management tool to measure and evaluate plant floor productivity.
OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality
World-сlass OEE for discrete manufacturing plants is considered to be 85% or better; however, the average OEE score for discrete manufacturing plants is usually 60%.
To assist you in fulfilling the promise of OEE, RTS provides real-time visibility and anomaly alerts to OEE laggard KPIs. We also can provide an Apple SIRI app which can query OEE and provide feedback on your command. This solution, part of an overall manufacturing execution system, empowers manufacturing companies to improve their processes using real-time operational information to minimize causes of inefficiency, ensuring quality, consistency, and productivity measured at the bottom line.
Common productivity losses are:
Downtime Losses
Events Requiring maintenance
Machine Breakdowns
Machine Adjustments & Set Up
Performance Losses
Events requiring management awareness & action
Machine stops
Machine reduced speeds
Quality Losses
Rejects during initial startup & full production runs
Machine startup bad parts
Gradual degredation of manufacturing parameters
Machine production bad parts
OEE can have significant benefits to your manufacturing operations, such as
Real-Time Visibility and Actionable Intelligence
Comprehensive visibility to real-time production trending information to address production issues before they occur
Actionable intelligence to address production anomalies as they happen, driven by immediate e-mail alerts
Ensured order specifications compliance, communicating customized production orders, customers quality information and testing procedures to the shop floor
Fully Integrated Solution
Multi-plant capability: Can be deployed as a standard solution across all plants and sites, regardless of underlying production and IT systems
It allows you to compare plants based on OEE analysis (including cost allocation) to identify “best of breed” manufacturing performers:
Plants / processes
Production shifts / lines
Departments / assets
Days/week/weekend
One single system of record for production management, providing robust analytics and consolidating information from all disparate shop floor sources and processes
Increased data transparency & accuracy, automatically recording and delivering to the business system, production information from meters, significant assets, Historians, PLCs, DCSs, LIMS
Effective OEE analysis via standard and custom reports
Enhanced user acceptance and learning, through interactive role-based dashboards
Manufacturing Continuous Improvement
Loss reason code system, captured by the operators during the production process and analyzed later during root cause meetings
Allowing you to take necessary actions to:
Reduce bottlenecks
Optimize/prioritize maintenance tasks
Eliminate down time
Maximize optimal run rates and capacity
Improve machine reliability
Reduce machine setup time
Implement machine operator training
