The question of whether OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) can exceed 100% intrigues many industrial managers. OEE is a key indicator for measuring equipment efficiency in a plant. It combines availability, performance and quality to give a comprehensive overview...
Assessing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is crucial to modern industrial operations. One of the questions often asked is: “Can OEE be greater than 100%?” This article looks at this question, important for production operations, and explores what an...
The indicator alone improves nothing Here’s an inconvenient truth aboutOEE operators: overall equipment efficiency alone doesn’t improve anything. A performance indicator displayed in an office has never made a machine run faster, reduced a changeover time...
The question always comes up at industrial management committee meetings: “What is the real performance of our plants?” In a multi-site group, this seemingly simple question often triggers endless debate. Plant A reports an OEE of 74%, plant B 68%, and...
In most French plants, OEE reliability is a major problem. The overall efficiency of equipment displayed on dashboards is only an approximation of reality. Between forgotten paper sheets, undeclared stoppages and invisible micro-stops, the gap between measured and...
On the shop floor, two worlds often coexist without speaking to each other: that of production, which monitors OEE and key performance indicators, and that of maintenance, which controls machine reliability with MTBF and MTTR. The result? Maintenance indicators that...
