In the manufacturing sector, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is an essential indicator for assessing the performance of production lines. However, many companies face challenges in optimizing their OEE, complicated by frequent stoppages, quality losses and performance variability, often referred to as ‘OEE maluma’. This critical issue can lead to cost overruns, reduced customer satisfaction and loss of competitiveness.

The main causes behind low OEE include inadequate maintenance processes, unidentified bottlenecks, and inefficient use of human and technical resources. These factors can result in prolonged downtime, increased rejects and unused capacity, directly impacting manufacturing companies’ productivity and profit margins.

To solve these problems, it’s crucial to adopt a systematic approach to continuous improvement and digitalization of the shop floor. Solutions such as those offered by TeepTrak can transform performance management by enabling real-time monitoring, downtime analysis and improved multi-line visibility. It’s important to focus on key indicators such as availability, performance and quality, while optimizing processes with digital tools.

A case in point is a food production plant where the ‘OEE maluma’ problem was resulting in downtime due to human error and frequent machine adjustments. By implementing real-time monitoring solutions with TeepTrak, the company was able to reduce downtime by 25% in three months, improve operator training and optimize the preventive maintenance plan.

For plant directors and industrial managers, it is becoming imperative to structure an OEE improvement project. Starting with a precise diagnosis and the use of an OEE/ROS measurement tool is essential. Expected benefits include increased productivity, cost savings and enhanced production quality. Adaptier [adopt] solutions like those from TeepTrak will enable you to remain competitive and ensure continuous improvement of your operations.
