Understanding OEE 2 calculation to improve production line performance

In the highly competitive environment of modern industry, understanding and optimizing TRS (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) has become a must for plant managers and operational leaders. The classic OEE calculation is widely known, but the “OEE 2 calculation” represents a more advanced version that could revolutionize your approach to performance. The challenge is to effectively analyze every element of the process to reveal latent improvement opportunities not always apparent with conventional methods.

Lack of visibility into the root causes of production losses can hamper companies’ ability to meet their performance targets. Among the causes are unplanned downtime, rate slowdowns and quality defects. These elements directly affect OEE, and significantly increase operational costs due to the need to remedy post-production defects or schedule unscheduled maintenance shutdowns. Inadequate monitoring of these factors often results in an inability to identify the real bottlenecks.

To address these issues, it is crucial to integrate continuous improvement practices and digitalize real-time performance monitoring. Tools such as those offered by TeepTrak facilitate this transformation by providing detailed tracking solutions. They enable granular analysis of stoppages, and the multi-line visibility essential for effective TRS management. By focusing on relevant indicators, plants can not only identify but also resolve inefficiencies in their production lines.

Consider the example of a cosmetics plant that applied the enhanced OEE concept. Thanks to a real-time monitoring tool provided by TeepTrak, the company was able to reduce unscheduled downtime by 15% in six months. The key to their success lay in accurately identifying the causes of recurring breakdowns and implementing more effective preventive maintenance. This approach led to a significant improvement in product quality and increased customer satisfaction.

To begin your own industrial performance improvement, first assess the current state of your overall efficiency against OEE standards. Consider integrating suitable technologies that offer real-time monitoring and granular performance analysis. Contact the experts at TeepTrak to explore the options best suited to your needs. By adopting a structured, tool-based approach, you can establish a solid foundation for a continuous improvement process that enhances your competitiveness in the long term.
