If availability is 92% (0.92), performance is 89% (0.89) and quality is 97% (0.97), your OEE calculation would look like this:<\/p>\n<div class=\"formula-container\" style=\"margin-top: 60px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<p>OEE = 0.92 \u00d7 0.89 \u00d7 0.97<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"formula-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 60px;\">\n<p>OEE = 0.794 (79.4%)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In order to get 100% OEE, your facility would have to produce perfect products, as quickly as possible, with no unscheduled downtime.

Conducting an OEE analysis and finding ways to improve OEE helps you uncover areas ripe with opportunity by connecting the dots between machine performance and maintenance performance. Below are a few of the benefits:<\/p>\n<h3>1. It gives your preventive maintenance program a boost<\/h3>\n<p>Tracking OEE allows you to see when and where poor maintenance practices are creating a disastrous domino effect. Relying too heavily on <a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/reactive-maintenance\/\">reactive maintenance<\/a> leads to more equipment breakdowns (availability), which stops them from making goods (performance), and increases the chances of defects (quality). When you know where the weaknesses lie in your <a href=\"\/blog\/building-an-effective-preventive-maintenance-program\/\">preventive maintenance program<\/a>, it\u2019s a lot easier to take action, improve OEE, and solve the problems.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"section\"><p>In order to get 100% OEE, your facility would have to produce perfect products, as quickly as possible, with no unscheduled downtime\u2026 World-class OEE is 85% or better, and the average is around 60%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>2. Targets inefficiencies and eliminate them<\/h3>\n<p>Preventive maintenance alone doesn\u2019t guarantee better asset performance. You can be doing all the PMs you want, but it won\u2019t matter if they aren\u2019t the right tasks, done by trained technicians, with the right tools and a proper timeline. Measuring OEE uncovers if any of these elements are out of whack so you can fix them. If availability, quality, or performance are suffering on an asset, it\u2019s probably time to <a href=\"\/blog\/preventive-maintenance-audit-to-optimize-equipment-maintenance-program\/\">audit your PMs<\/a> on that machine and make changes where necessary. This ensures work is done faster and done right.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Reduces common causes of equipment failure<\/h3>\n<p>OEE can help you eliminate issues that wreak havoc on your organization. These issues are generally grouped into what are called the big six losses:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/5-causes-of-equipment-failure-and-what-you-can-do-to-prevent-it\/\">Equipment failure<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Setup\/adjustment time<\/li>\n<li>Idling or minor stoppages<\/li>\n<li>Reduced speed<\/li>\n<li>Production defects<\/li>\n<li>Startup defects<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You may know that you have production problems, but aren\u2019t sure what they are, how bad they are, or how to fix them. Looking at the three elements of OEE allows you to identify which of the big six are affecting your operation the most, and the steps necessary to address them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-we-measure\">Should maintenance teams measure OEE?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, maintenance teams should measure OEE, but unfortunately, not all do. Some maintenance teams may not fully understand OEE or how it can be measured and utilized to improve equipment effectiveness. Others may use different performance indicators to measure equipment effectiveness. For example, they may focus on mean time between failures (<a href=\"\/blog\/mean-time-between-fail\/\">MTBF<\/a>) or mean time to repair (<a href=\"\/blog\/mean-time-to-repair\/\">MTTR<\/a>) instead of OEE.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few reasons why your maintenance team should be measuring OEE:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It ensures you&#8217;re optimizing every minute of your company&#8217;s downtime. You can think of downtime as being like a leaky pipe\u2014if you don&#8217;t fix it right away, it&#8217;ll cost more and more money over time. But if you catch it early, you can fix it before any serious damage is done.<\/li>\n<li>You can use OEE as a metric for gauging your success in tackling downtime-related issues. If your company is experiencing an uptick in downtime and you&#8217;re not seeing any improvement from your efforts to fix it\u2014that&#8217;s a sign that something needs to change. Maybe there&#8217;s a process problem or maybe there&#8217;s some part of the schedule that needs improvement. But whatever the case may be, by measuring OEE regularly, you can keep track of how well you&#8217;re doing at fixing those problems before they become too big to handle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"improvement\">Challenges to improve OEE and how to overcome them<\/h2>\n<p>Analyzing and improving OEE can help you make a simple change in your maintenance practices, like the way you order inventory or complete <a href=\"\/blog\/work-order\/\">work orders<\/a>, and lead to big improvements on the production floor. Below are some challenges that maintenance teams may meet when it comes to improving their OEE:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Availability<\/h3>\n<p>What brings it down: Breakdowns, machine idle time, machine adjustment time, and machine stoppages.<\/p>\n<p>How maintenance can improve it: Maintenance can target the causes of low availability with three main strategies\u2014preventive maintenance, improved inventory management, and better access to information. A fine-tuned <a href=\"\/glossary\/maintenance-schedules\/\">preventive maintenance schedule<\/a> will lead to fewer failures and stoppages as problems can be spotted ahead of time. Tracking spare parts usage makes repairs quicker, cutting downtime, <a href=\"\/glossary\/idle-time\/\">idle time<\/a> and minor stoppages. Lastly, having manuals, work order histories, and other resources at your fingertips reduces repair time and gives technicians exact specs for adjustments, so they are quick and accurate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cmms-new\">\n<div class=\"cta_2 cta\" href=\"https:\/\/lp.fiixsoftware.com\/metrics\" target=\"_blank\">\n<figure class=\"circle\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/circle-robins-egg200x200.png\" alt=\"circle graphic\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"hex\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/hex-arctic-blue200x200.png\" alt=\"hexagon graphic\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div>\n<p>Receive a crash course in maintenance metrics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a style=\"color: white !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/lp.fiixsoftware.com\/metrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the guide <span class=\"sr-only\">(Opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Performance<\/h3>\n<p>What brings it down: Poorly operating equipment, inefficient work processes, material variations, lack of lubrication, and aging assets.<\/p>\n<p>How maintenance can improve it: The key to boosting asset performance lies in optimizing planned maintenance and increasing standardization. Low performance usually points to an issue with a specific part or PM task, such as bearings that aren\u2019t lubricated or a belt that isn\u2019t serviced regularly. Refining your <a href=\"\/maintenance-triggers\/\">preventive maintenance triggers<\/a> or adopting a condition-based maintenance approach catches these problems before they impact performance. Once PM tasks are scheduled, standardizing them is crucial. Take it one step at a time with little changes, like attaching task lists to work orders, to ensure things are done properly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Quality<\/h3>\n<p>What brings it down: Poorly maintained equipment, system misalignment, inconsistent raw materials, and haphazard troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p>How maintenance can improve it: Poor product quality can be addressed by improving maintenance processes and making consistency a top priority. Process failures are at the root cause of many defects. For example, if gauges are set differently between shifts or if every technician aligns a system differently, it could lead to a rise in subpar products. Building policies, workflows, knowledge hubs, and training programs improve processes, establish consistency, and create a culture of <a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/total-productive-maintenance\/\">total productive maintenance<\/a>. A better culture and superior processes lead to less chaos, standard results and higher-quality goods.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">The bottom line: Build a foundation for success with OEE<\/h2>\n<p>Overall equipment effectiveness is one of the best tools for identifying production issues, solutions for those problems, and where maintenance fits into your strategy. OEE allows you to follow the trail of breadcrumbs from failure, inefficiency and lost production to the root cause of all these headaches, making long-term fixes possible and helping the entire organization succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our series of blog posts about maintenance metrics.
