Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) is one of the best methods using measuring performance of production facilities. Having a mobile app to calculate OEE will make our work easy.

Share OEE is using messaging, email, Viber, etc

Use the share button on top to share your OEE. It will allow you to share OEE data (which is available on the screen) using any method your phone supports. (Email, sms, Viber, etc)

How to Use OEE Calculator

Please note that all 'time' values should be in the minutes.

Please note that total output, output per hour, reject and rework should use the same measurement. (Don’t use total output in kg and rejects in liters. Both should be in kg or liter)

Date

Select the date which data belongs

Machine

Enter the name of the Machine/Line to which data belongs.

Planned Working Time

This is the time which machine/line operates, including planned breakdown and meeting times. You can consider mealtime and teatime as your interest. If your Planned Working Time includes mealtimes and teatime, please add them to the Planned Down Time.

Planned Down Time

Enter any time that is included in Planned Working Time but need to exclude the time calculating OEE. Preventive Maintenance, Lunch, and teatime (if included in Planned Working Time) are examples.

Meeting Time

If you have any meeting enter the time taken for that here. (This time also not considering when calculating OEE)

Down Time

Enter any Down time occurred during working time.

Availability

Availability factor calculates using below formula

Availability % = (Planned Working Time – Planned Down Time – Meeting Time – Down Time) *100 / (Planned Working Time – Planned Down Time – Meeting Time)

Total Output

Enter the total output during the period. This should include Rejected Items & Reworked Items.

Output Rate

Enter the standard value here. Enter output per minute here.

Performance

Performance factor calculates using below formula

Performance % = (Total Output / Output per Hour) * 100 / (Planned Working Time – Planned Down Time – Meeting Time – Down Time)

Reject

Enter reject quantity during the period.

Rework

Enter rework quantity during the period.

Quality

Quality factor calculates using below formula

Quality % = (Total Output – Reject – Rework) *100 / Total Output

When you enter data, the app calculates the Availability, Performance and Quality when it has data to calculate those. If you enter any non-numeric value, you will receive an error message. After you enter all data, you can share it with others using the share button. You can clear the data using the “Clear” button.

Introduction

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key performance indicator used in manufacturing to measure the efficiency of a production process. It is calculated as the product of three factors: Availability, Performance, and Quality. The OEE Calculator is a tool that helps manufacturers calculate OEE and identify areas for improvement.

Functionality

The OEE Calculator typically includes the following features:

* Data Input: Allows users to enter data on production time, downtime, scrap, and other relevant metrics.

* Calculation: Automatically calculates OEE based on the input data.

* Analysis: Provides insights into the factors affecting OEE, such as downtime causes and quality issues.

* Reporting: Generates reports that summarize OEE performance and identify areas for improvement.

Benefits

Using an OEE Calculator offers several benefits, including:

* Improved Efficiency: Helps manufacturers identify and eliminate sources of inefficiency, leading to increased productivity.

* Reduced Costs: By reducing downtime and improving quality, manufacturers can lower production costs.

* Enhanced Competitiveness: Improved OEE can give manufacturers a competitive advantage by enabling them to produce goods more efficiently and at a lower cost.

* Data-Driven Decision-Making: The OEE Calculator provides data-driven insights that support informed decision-making regarding production processes.

Implementation

To implement an OEE Calculator effectively, manufacturers should:

* Gather Accurate Data: Ensure that the data entered into the calculator is accurate and reliable.

* Set Realistic Targets: Establish achievable OEE targets based on industry benchmarks and internal capabilities.

* Monitor and Track: Regularly monitor OEE performance and track progress towards targets.

* Identify Improvement Areas: Analyze OEE data to identify areas for improvement, such as reducing downtime or improving quality control.

* Continuous Improvement: Use the OEE Calculator as part of a continuous improvement program to drive ongoing efficiency enhancements.

Conclusion

The OEE Calculator is a valuable tool that helps manufacturers improve the efficiency of their production processes. By providing data-driven insights and identifying areas for improvement, the OEE Calculator enables manufacturers to optimize production, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness.
