How to improve OEE ? is a most valuable question nowadays, because all companies are trying to reduce the manufacturing cost and the improvement in OEE gives a good result for that.
Before we start I recommend you to the article of OEE.
What will happen if we improve OEE?
In simple words the good output of the machinery will increase within the same planned production time and the manufacturing cost will come down. Yes, that’s all what we want
How to improve OEE?
As we all know OEE have three factors Availability, Performance and Quality. If we improve all these three factors, OEE will increase.
How to improve Availability?
As we all know,
Availability = Run Time / Planned Production Time
So when the Run time decreases the Availability factor decreases. So we need to increase the run time. For that we need to eliminate the causes which decreases the run time. It can be done by the following method.
Carry one stopwatch, one note pad and a pen and go near to the machine whose OEE to be improved, at the start of a shift. Start measuring the time of every element in that shift related to that machine and note it down in the notepad. Split the element as lowest as possible so that it will be easier for analyzing the causes of the element. Splitting the elements is also mentioned in the article direct stop watch time study. Also don’t forget to measure every cycles of the machine. It will be helpful in improving the performance factor.
