The Six Big Losses framework turns “we lose time” into six named, measurable causes: breakdowns, changeovers, micro-stops, slow cycles, quality defects and startup rejects. This free worksheet helps you put minutes against each loss and see which one to...
How to Collect Machine Data for OEE (2026 Guide) You cannot improve an OEE you cannot measure — and the hardest part of OEE is almost never the formula. It is getting reliable, automatic machine data off the shop floor, especially from a mixed fleet where some...
Short answer: the Six Big Losses are the standard framework for the productivity losses that OEE measures. They map to the three OEE factors: two Availability losses (breakdowns; setup & changeovers), two Performance losses (idling & minor stops; reduced...
Short answer: OEE, OOE, TEEP and Utilization all measure manufacturing productivity, but each uses a different time window. OEE measures how well you run during planned production time; OOE widens the lens to all scheduled operating time; TEEP goes all the way to...
Why data alone is not enough to improve OEE Key takeawaysCollecting data is not enough to make OEE progress.Many sites measure abundantly but never act.Value comes from action and from the search for root cause.Measuring is necessary but not sufficient: it’s the...
Manual Pareto vs real-time analysis: finding the true cause Key takeawaysThe manual Pareto ranks losses by category: useful, but limited.It misses the interactions of several parameters at once.Yet the costliest losses often live precisely in those...
We put a TeepTrak engineer on one of your lines, instrument it, and measure it with your team. A signed baseline, a weekly review, a decision date set up front. The commitment isn't to buy. It's to measure.
