In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, maximizing production output without compromising quality is crucial. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key metric that helps manufacturers achieve this goal. It provides a holistic view of production efficiency by considering three critical factors:

• Availability: Measures the percentage of time equipment is operational when it’s scheduled to run.
• Performance: Evaluates how fast the equipment produces good units compared to its ideal speed.
• Quality: Represents the percentage of good units produced compared to the total number.

By multiplying these three factors (Availability x Performance x Quality), manufacturers obtain a clear picture of their OEE as a percentage. A higher OEE indicates a well-oiled production line with minimal downtime, optimal speed, and minimal defects.
