OEE improvement value

Most managers want to improve OEE on all manufacturing lines, but why?
OEE is not an end goal, it doesn’t bring you any money, at least not directly. It’s just a measuring tool for efficiency losses. Yet every manager seems obsessed by it.
So let’s dive into how you can put a value to OEE improvements.
How to determine what to do with the created machine time.
When OEE improvement projects are really worth it.

Always a good discussion. Amazing to see that we still use Availability - Performance - Quality indicators. Who started this? These categories are not understood, not actionable, owned by a diverse group of functions ... useless in every way. Good categories link losses to one owner, who uses one dedicated tool, who owns the loss intelligence.

Hi Jasper, totally agree - I don't like the A-P-Q split for OEE either, but it's one that's used a lot 🤷‍♂
One of the things I advise people to always take into account is to define which time losses are planned vs not planned - and these aren't even categories, it's a simple matter of what does your planning department explicitly define vs what just happens at more or less random moments: ruclips.net/video/vruTx66L78U/видео.htmlsi=O3x54aE0eY97Jie8
And there's a whole set of more detailed OEE categories (as you know well, I know that much😉). This video (ruclips.net/video/lDEd5muY7cU/видео.htmlsi=PuCY4CtbiFD2SkTF) goes into my reasons for wanting to split out OEE categories - having dedicated owners and tools per category is an important reason, as is the time scale at which I think you should be looking at these categories (e.g. speed losses are something operators can act on on an hourly basis, while setup standard times are something you'd probably want to reduce with organised teams working off a quarterly or yearly improvement roadmap).
Hope those two videos give a more nuanced view and they might be a better starting point for a discussion that will truly benefit the community with your experience and insights 😃
