Implementing Overall Equipment Effectiveness in a Process Industry

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a concept where the bottleneck operations of a particular process are reduced to certain extent. A pilot scale study is under taken in the product manufacturing industry and OEE concepts are implemented in the job floor. The three parameters such as availability, performance and quality of the process are taken up for this purpose. The OEE concepts were implemented in a periodic manner and continuous improvement in the job floor was monitored which proved some positive output.
