An OEE of 100% means that only good parts are produced (100% quality), at the maximum speed (100% performance), and without interruption (100% availability). Measuring OEE is a manufacturing best practice. By measuring OEE and the underlying losses, important insights can be gained on how to systematically improve the manufacturing process.
More for same, i.e. more output for same input; Much more for more, i.e. much more output for more input; It is a common misconception that costs, in absolute terms, are always cut when improving operational efficiency. It is true for the "same for less" alternative, but not for the two other alternatives. It can be operationally efficient to ...
Since services are perishable, they cannot be stored for later use. In manufacturing companies, inventory can be used to buffer supply and demand. Since buffering is not possible in services, highly variable demand must be met by operations or demand modified to meet supply. Ownership. In manufacturing, ownership is transferred to the customer.
OEE is calculated on the base of three elements: Availability – compares the planned and the actual time of the process run. For example, if a machine is planned to run 100 hours a week, but in reality runs only 50, then the availability is 50%. [3] Performance – compares the ideal output and the actual output.

For example: if an operator is assigned to run a CNC machine tool for seven hours, but they only have four hours' worth of continuous uninterrupted output of workpieces—their MOE rating is 57% (4 divided by 7) for this seven-hour period of time. There is a similar lean manufacturing KPI called overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The major ...
