Book excerpt: Performance . . . downtime . . . quality . . . availability . . . defects . . . How well do you know your machines? Do you truly know how substantial your equipment-related losses are? Calculating overall equipment effectiveness is a crucial element of any serious commitment to reduce equipment- and process-related wastes through Total Productive Maintenance and other lean manufacturing methods. Success with TPM, in particular, depends on consistently and accurately measuring machine and process performance. "OEE Toolkit: Practical Software for Measuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness" provides detailed information daily on how effectively your machines are running by quantifying and visually highlighting where losses in availability, speed, and quality occur and how they impact overall equipment effectiveness. This calculation, made easy by the OEE Toolkit software, provides a powerful performance measurement on which you can base systematic, focused improvement efforts. Capturing and processing performance data on critical machines is challenging. Daily data collection and analysis often involve time-consuming and costly processes. Now, Productivity's OEE Toolkit eliminates most of the burden of data processing. The OEE Toolkit's emphasis on visual management helps you get more information from collected data. You enter very small amounts of data, the OEE Toolkit does the calculations and analysis for you, and you get more information about your machine performance than you ever thought possible. In today's competitive environment you cannot settle for a goal less ambitious than the total elimination of breakdowns and other losses. You can't improve what you don't measure, and OEE is a powerful indicator of where your losses are occurring. The fine-tuned, automated analysis of the OEE Toolkit pinpoints where to make improvements that will significantly impact your bottom line. There are no excuses for ineffective equipment, only causes. Expose those causes and root them out today with the OEE Toolkit. Key Benefits: One universal tool -- processes information about machines through the same interface (Basic package covers 10 machines) Calculates losses in availability, performance, and quality Easy to learn and use Every operator can participate Minimal input, maximal information Flexible to the needs of the user Lets you measure the performance of many machines Supports operators in learning about equipment and focusing on the losses Expandable to future needs Key Features: Data-entry screen designed for optimal speed and ease of use Extensive data analysis for concrete information to pinpoint the causes of losses Standardized reporting formats for effective comparisons of equipment effectiveness Color-coded visual control features for determining at a glance whether OEE is in your acceptable range Many ways to analyze and look at data, including: Bar/line graphs of OEE and its components for a specific shift or team for a specificday or period Bar/line graphs of OEE trends over time Bar graphs of OEE and losses in effectiveness over time Pareto charts for time use categories, sorted by minutes, frequency, and average duration Bar graph of specific time use categories over time Commonly used reliability and maintainability indicators: mean time betweenfailures, failure frequency rate, mean time to repair, and failure rate Mountain graph of production output (good product, scrap, rework) over time Bar graph of production and on status (in relation to user-defined target output for each machine) for all machines tracked during a period Pie chart of utilization categories Contents Software CD 112-page manual System Requirements Personal computer with 100 MHz (or higher) Pentium processor 16 Mbytes or more of system RAM 10 Mbytes free hard disk space SVGA 800 x 600 video adapter 4X CD-ROM DRIVE Microsoft Windows-supported color printer Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 2 or greater) ABOUT THE AUTHOR Arno Koch has been involved in the information technology field for over ten years and has trained hundreds of people in the fields of automation and systems administration and participated in numerous IT projects.
