Overview

What is OEE?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a hierarchy of metrics developed in the 1960s to evaluate how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized.  It is best used to identify scope for process performance improvement, and how to get the improvement.  If for example the cycle time is reduced, the OEE will increase i.e. more product is produced for less resource. Another example is if one enterprise serves a high volume, low variety market, and another enterprise serves a low volume, high variety market. More changeovers (set-ups) will lower the OEE in comparison.

OEE Chart Overview

The OEE Summary Chart, is a 4 tier bar graph for analyzing OEE specific metrics.  The chart is capable of displaying Availability, Performance, Quality and OEE data.  It is also possible to plot the targets for each metric alongside the returned values.  Using the filter allow the chart to be customized to your needs by selecting which values should be displayed when generating the chart.
