Applications

OEE has become a widely used metric in industry. Prodigy software can automatically calculate and report OEE for any number of machines or equipment, freeing your staff to do more value added work.
|
OEE combines the factors of Availability, Performance Rate and Quality Rate to provide a percentage number. It offers an easy to understand figure that can be applied to a single machine or entire factory floor.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness = Availability x Performance Rate x Quality Rate
In a perfect world your equipment would run 100 percent of the time at 100 percent capacity, with an output of 100 percent good quality. This would give the perfect OEE figure of 100% but of course in the real world this is not possible due to inevitable losses. World class level of OEE performance is generally accepted as 85% although many businesses will struggle to achieve 60%.
