It is about time I am updating this blog again, as I have been managing a project in Austria since April. Since it is an active project, I cannot say who the client is and what he produces. But they are producing something MTO (Make to Order) which is made of metal and which one can find in most buildings.
I think I should write about a few features of the project in the next few entries - what I am doing here, what I am learning, etc...
The project is about raising efficiency levels in the factory and the good thing about it is, it is a coaching project where I am coaching everyone from key operators to the managing director in efficiency raising techniques.
We are tasked to do mainly 3 things - implementing OEE, doing some core SMEDs, and installing a "Lean Corner" (daily review meetings, action plans, etc).
This poster about the OEE definition is in German but it shows the 3 areas OEE is looking at - Availability (V for Verfügbarkeit), Performance (L for Leistungsgrad) and Quality (Q for Qualität). OEE itself is calculated as a multiplication of all the 3 of them.

Thank you for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteOEE is a very useful process in any manufacturing industry as it is used to measure about any particular machine which is providing the output in a specific time duration.
Now a days, there are numerous companies who are providing the service of OEE process and while surfing on internet, I came across a site named as Redzone who is providing mobile technology for continuous improvement which is also being used in the manufacturing industry to make the working process smooth.
