Steps to Get Up and Running with OEE

While every implementation may vary, the following items are general guidelines on the steps required to get up and running with OEE.

These guidelines assume the equipment has already been configured with basic Bronze level functionality of collecting cycle time information.

- Ensure the equipment that OEE will be implemented on have a Gold License assigned to them

- Enter Planned and Unplanned Downtimes  More Information

- Determine how part numbers and part counts will be collected.  This may vary based on the type of equipment

- Add expressions for downtimes, and the appropriate methods for part numbers and part counts

- Enter Part Numbers, or setup DataXchange to auto add part numbers  More Information

- Enter Ideal Times  More Information

- To get up and running quickly, default Ideal Times can be used

        If auto add is being used for part numbers it may be desirable to setup default ideal times

- Setup the OEE RTV Views More Information

Optional Steps

- A default Quality percentage can be used for OEE calculations if the goal is to avoid the requirement of entering scrap counts  More Information

- Define OEE targets for the charts and RTV Views  More Information
