OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a key performance indicator for measuring production efficiency. By measuring production losses, you can identify your potential for improvement. When you know what losses you have,
Continuously measuring production efficiency through monitoring and having a follow-up and improvement process makes it possible to constantly improve efficiency and profitability.<\/p>\n\n
Everyone who has worked in manufacturing knows that conditions are constantly changing. You must maintain continuous control over the manufacturing process to ensure that both quality and
So how do you measure production efficiency in a manufacturing process? It’s common to use the key performance indicator OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). In Swedish, we say TAK, which is
T \u2013 Availability
Availability<\/strong>\nAvailability concerns unplanned downtime, for example due to technical failures, lack of materials, raw materials, or similar issues. Here, losses are typically discussed in terms of downtime based on the 4M model (Man, Method, Material, and Machine). <\/p>\n\n Example: if a machine stops due to a technical fault and cannot produce for 12 minutes in an hour. The 12 minutes of downtime (20% of an hour) results in an availability value of Performance<\/strong> Example: if it’s determined that the machine should produce at a rate of 100 units per hour but quality issues with the material require running at a Quality<\/strong> Example: 100 units are produced but 2 units have defects that make them unsellable. 98 units were approved, giving a quality value of 98%. <\/p>\n\n
