Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
Improve productivity and reduce costs by measuring and improving the efficiency and reliability of manufacturing processes.
What is OEE software?
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a measurement of how well your manufacturing process works that takes into account your production time, equipment performance, and the quality of your products. OEE software measures, analyzes and visualizes these factors so you can improve the productivity of your manufacturing process.
Monitoring OEE can help operators run equipment at its maximum capacity, find bottlenecks and prioritize problems so they can improve the effectiveness of a manufacturing process. OEE analysis can also reduce machine repair costs by helping you pre-empt production shutdowns and prioritize maintenance for the assets you rely on most.

How to improve OEE?
One of the most effective ways to improve your OEE is to make sure you are measuring it effectively with the most up-to-date solutions. You also need to focus on data from machines that are critical to your business, rather than collecting information from every single machine in the process. Gathering real-time or live data is also key, so you know what is happening in the moment, rather than using historical metrics. Using an OEE formula that is designed for your particular business is important as well. For example, in some manufacturing processes, performance and quality are the top priorities, as minor product defects don’t matter.
