Hi there,
Ive been asked to set up OEE on a few machines which im more than happy to do. Never done it before and nor as the company.
Having read up on it now for a couple of hours it seems like an impressive tool of which if applied correctly we can definately yield benefit from.
From a newbie in this field the initial issues i can see are:
1. The gathering of the numbers. To me the numbers need to be generated automatically (hence some software package). For instance if i am reliant on operators filling out time sheets telling when and how long the machine is down its destined to fail before it starts.
2. Quality of the product might not be an instant feedback, as we have an inspection department. what happens if the product is made but it sits on a rack for 2 days and only then does it come to light that there is an issue.
Thanks in advance for any advice
