Overall Equipment Effectivity

We have set up both manual and automated OEE systems for lots of clients, some with very complex product mixes the 1st part is establish machine availability sounds easy but the rabbit hole here is TEEP - OEE - 24/7 we can build models that cover ALL.these, the 2nd part is performance if your doing the same thing all the time it's easy  we are more adept at the complex mix with different speeds and outputs, finally the quality again very easy good parts over bad parts (we will cover reworks and seconds) 

OEE - Six Big Losses

We can guide you through the identification and more importantly how to address the six losses

Availability: Unplanned / Planned stops. Performance: Change overs / Slow cycles.        Quality: Production / Startup rejects.

We use Root Cause Problem Solving RCPS & CAPA Corrective and Preventative Actions- TPM - Standard work - Standard work combination charts - SQCDP - 5S - SMED to get the numbers back above the required level. 

Total Productive Maintenance

We can support you in implementing a fully inclusive maintenance program, A holistic approach to equipment maintenance with the emphasises proactive and preventive & predictive maintenance to maximize the operational efficiency of equipment, it engages not only the maintenance teams but the operators and people leaders to be involved. we can establish manual T-Card systems through the excel & the off the shelf or inhouse automated data bases to enhance and drive the availability and uptime.

Availability 

This can be anything from 24/7 365 days as thats what we have brought and paid for,  you may trim it back if you have rules around unsociable hours, Shutdowns etc.. 

We would recommend  using the scheduled start to finish time of your standard shift pattern plus including all overtime , 

Its not an issues as the way we collect data and analyse it we can run  multiple charts to show the different planned hours 

Performance

Again if its a standard item off one machine, line or cell then its easy, the challenge is when its an area that makes many different things for example a press that can run at 10 to 50 SPM or a ultrasonic tank that takes between 50 > 840 minutes to test an item (Yes i've had this) the performance has to be calculated using standard time blocks vs output,  we have done this hundreds of times so can take you through without going down the rabbit hole. 

We use a very easy DBTH sheet (Day by the hour) to plan and capture the data, we can automate to varying degrees based on budget and benefits.

Quality

This is possibly the easiest part of the calculation, it's good parts produced over bad parts, the hard part comes when you decide to raise a concession to use / ship the defects of if your piece of equipment is designed for testing and the item being tested fails part way through what do we count it as, we have been there and done that so can guide you through the pitfalls,

The key is standard rules so day on day plant v plant are following the same rules as are the metrics.
