(26 cards)
What does OEE stand for?
Overall Equipment Effectiveness
True or False: OEE is a measure of how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized.
True
List the three components that OEE is calculated from.
Availability, Performance, Quality
What is the formula for calculating OEE?
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality
Fill in the blank: Availability is the ratio of _____ to _____ time.
Operating time to Planned production time
What does the Performance component of OEE measure?
The speed at which the equipment operates compared to its maximum potential.
True or False: Quality in OEE refers to the number of products produced without defects.
True
What is the maximum possible OEE percentage?
100%
What is a common benchmark for world-class OEE?
85%
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a component of OEE? A) Availability B) Performance C) Safety D) Quality
C) Safety
What happens to OEE if any of its components (Availability, Performance, Quality) decrease?
OEE will also decrease.
Fill in the blank: A common cause of low Availability is _____.
Equipment downtime
What is the relationship between OEE and productivity?
Higher OEE typically indicates higher productivity.
True or False: OEE can be used to identify areas for improvement in manufacturing processes.
True
What does a low Performance score indicate?
The equipment is running slower than its intended speed.
Multiple Choice: Which component of OEE is affected by defects in products? A) Availability B) Performance C) Quality D) All of the above
C) Quality
What is an example of a factor that can affect Availability?
Scheduled maintenance
How can OEE help in decision-making for a manufacturing plant?
It provides insights into operational efficiency and areas needing improvement.
True or False: OEE is only applicable in manufacturing environments.
False
Fill in the blank: The ideal OEE score is _____ percent.
100
What is the first step in improving OEE?
Identifying and analyzing losses.
What type of analysis is often used to understand OEE losses?
Root cause analysis
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a benefit of tracking OEE? A) Increased downtime B) Improved quality C) Higher costs D) Decreased productivity
B) Improved quality
What does a consistent OEE score indicate about a manufacturing process?
It suggests stability and predictability in operations.
