In today’s industrial context, optimizing overall equipment efficiency (OEE) is paramount for any plant seeking to remain competitive. A well-designed OEE calculation dashboard enables real-time monitoring of machine performance, reducing downtime and improving production quality. The challenge remains, however, to understand these indicators so as to better control productivity.
Difficulties encountered when implementing an OEE dashboard often include a lack of understanding of the real causes of inefficiencies: frequent stoppages, production variability, and quality problems. These elements have a direct impact on OEE, resulting in high costs and under-utilized capacity. Identifying these problems is essential to improving performance.
Solutions involve the integration of real-time monitoring tools such as those offered by TeepTrak. Thanks to shop-floor digitization technologies, key indicators can be monitored live. This includes detailed monitoring of stoppages and yield rates. Lean methodology combined with a continuous improvement tool further strengthens these approaches.
A concrete example comes from an automotive plant that was using spreadsheets to track its OEE. By implementing a digital dashboard, it was able to increase its OEE by 15% in six months. The use of a TeepTrak solution enabled bottlenecks to be precisely identified and drifts quickly corrected, guaranteeing increased efficiency.
To take action, it’s crucial to start with an accurate assessment of current performance via the OEE dashboard. Setting clear objectives and measuring progress regularly are key steps. By integrating a solution like TeepTrak’s, plants can not only optimize their OEE/ROS, but also strengthen their competitiveness in the marketplace by adopting a robust continuous improvement strategy.
