TPM: how to calculate and monitor OEE, Overall Equipment Effectiveness

course contents and main topics

• Introduction to TPM, Total Productive Maintenance. Differences between "traditional" TPM and today's TPM.
• Machinery Efficiency and Effectiveness. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
• Equipment-related Losses: the 6 Big Losses. Breakdowns, Set-up and Adjustments, Idling & Minor Stoppages, Speed Losses, Quality Losses, Start-up Yield Losses. Losses and Losses Time.
• General step-by-step method for calculating the OEE index: Machinery Class A (most manufacturing machines): Activity Rate - Operativity Rate - Net Operating Rate - Operating Speed Coefficient - Performance Rate - Quality Rate - OEE formula - OEE Calculation Sheet.
• General step-by-step method for calculating the OEE index: Machinery Class B (continuous process equipment and some construction equipment).
• Equipment Ranking: the starting point for Plant Performance Monitoring.
• OEE Record Keeping - Monitoring Charts - Records Analysis - Launching Improvement actions.
• OEE and 6-Sigma: example of OEE analysis
• Modern OEE developments: Safety Rate & Environment Control Rate.
• Introduction to Equipment-related Waste - examples.

course objectives

In my "real-world" courses I keep noticing that most delegates do not have a clear knowledge of the main maintenance-related index, the OEE Index, and of its main components. Even worse, when they know how to calculate it still they do not seem to use it effectively to understand their plant real performance and to improve it.
This e-course arises from a strong need in industry: the need to understand clearly the actual returns achieved from plant maintenance activities of whatever nature (Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, Reliability Centred Maintenance and others).

By showing a step-to-step, comprehensive method of calculating the OEE Index and its 3 main composing rates (Operativity Rate, Performance Rate, Quality Rate - and modern rates such as: Safety Rate and Environment Control Rate) for all classes of machinery, this e-course is a launching pad to recording, analysing and monitoring all major parameters of equipment performance in order to take corrective, improvement actions there where they are actually needed.
Calculation Sheets and abundants examples are supplied, as well as methods for the correct analysis of the collected data. Interactivity is assured through exercising.
Besides dealing in great detail with equipment-related Losses, this e-course tackles as well the subject of equipment-related Waste - a too-often neglected area in plant performance monitoring.

This e-Course is highly interactive: participants will be guided through the various steps of calculating and using effectively the OEE tool in a simple and gradual fashion.

target audience

Heads and Directors of Operations, Maintenance and Production - Operations Managers, Maintenance Managers - Reliability Engineers, Production Managers or Engineers - Maintenance Supervisors, Maintenance Planners, Schedulers and Controllers - Plant Managers - Engineering Managers, Chief Engineers - Project and Shutdown Managers, Leaders, Planners, Coordinators.
