Why OEE is important and its benefits

OEE stands for overall equipment effectiveness; well this is just a measurement to calculate the effectiveness and the efficiency of the manufacturing process. It helps the organization by providing a management tool and evaluates the manufacturing process.  The OEE for operators books are also available in the market for in depth knowledge.
Many other concepts are well explained in depth in the books like shopfloor series books. But the Industrial management books in India, sums up everything of how to manage your operations and organizations with efficiency.
The OEE calculates and is been evaluated on three different metrics and they are-
  • Availability
  • Performance
  • Quality
Why do we choose or adapt OEE measurement for our organization?
This measurement helps us to focus on different things in the manufacturing of organizations operations.  The OEE helps the operation department to quickly solve all the problems related to the organization
OEE helps the organization to find what is the root cause of the problems that are occurring and recurring in the organization, OEE defines that the biggest problem in the organization which leads to many other problem is nothing but lack of proper information.  With the help of this measurement you can analyze the end results of all the activities, make sure you have detailed information about the end result.
Usually the problems occur in any organizations are mainly because of the sudden break down of the machinery.
The OEE offers multiplicity of all the influences and analyzes every step and see how many of them trigger the production shop.
If you adopt OEE for your organization, it will help you to find out the root cause and problem that your organization is facing on daily basis.
Working on the root cause helps the organization to lead as they are not wasting their time on any other activity but only resolving the main issue; basically they help the organization in concentrating efforts where it is really needed.

What is Autonomous maintenance for operators and what do we learn from it

TPM Books leads to a level of productivity when you are positively and energetically involved in the maintenance of the operators.  The Autonomous maintenance for operators helps us to learn different things like focusing on few autonomous maintenance activities.
There are many other books which guide the organization towards efficiency like cellular manufacturing books. One can even refer different books on identifying waste on the shopfloor.
For all the other operators and the other team leaders this works like a motivation to know the best about running an organization. With this the shop floor operators will learn following different things.
  • Four skills the shop floor employees can develop to keep the equipment used not necessarily for production, running smoothly.
  • The Autonomous maintenance books help the shop floor employees on how to inspect for problems as they clean equipment.
  • The Organization can even get clarity on ideas for containing remains that shortens apparatus life.
  • Autonomous maintenance for the operators gives instructions for successful lubrication management.
  • The best use of this autonomous operators on how to use activity boards, meetings, and one-point lessons to subsidize TPM target.
The autonomous maintenance is one of the most important measurement terms for the operations department it benefits a lot to the organizations.
To maintain the machine adjustments which are made by the operators are bound to have complete information about the machines. It is nothing but a principal component of TPM (total productive management)
 It helps the organization to work on the following benefits
  • Preventive measures – with using this pillar principle of the TPM the organization takes preventive measures and work on fixing the problem beforehand itself.
  • Quality- The autonomous maintenance not only brings quality to the product but also brings different quality to the employment workings and production process.
  • Zero failures – Autonomous maintenance works on zero failure policy and make sure the organization avoids any mistakes in the near future.
This is autonomous maintenance principle of the TPM which is very beneficial for the organizational process.

A very beneficial measurement for all the organizations

OEE is a very important measurement; it stands for Overall equipment efficiency. Equipment efficiency is a very important term, when it comes to operations management.

TPM books though are mainly to give you a proper gist on how manage your operations and production cost of the organization.  Every organization must follow the CTI standards.
 Following are the primary reasons one must go for the OEE measurement for their organization, this prove why is it beneficial?
  • Efficiency and effectiveness – Equipment’s are managed with both, efficiency as well as effectiveness. They are well managed under the guidance of the measurement as it focuses on the root cause of the problem and helps the industry in improving their performance and reaching to profitability.
  • Information – with OEE you can get complete data information about all the activities to focus on the ones which are troublesome and are leading to many problems. With OEE you can focus on deficiencies and make them your strengths. The measurement ranks the activities according their significance in the outcome and gives us detailed information of what the organization should focus on.
  • Simple terms – With the use of OEE, one can just simply visualize their problem in simple terms, by just simply assigning them into the three metrics of OEE you can figure out things. The availability, performance and quality of the metrics help the organization to have detailed analysis on different things.
  • Works overall – OEE works for overall processes, the information this measurement provides to us is targeted and used at every stage of production. From the shop floor to the top level management. It helps the organization to trigger the action.

8 pillars of TPM and how are they effective for the organization

TPM stands for total productive management; TPM brings vital focus of the organization to the vital part of the production process. It assigns preventive and routine messages to the organization as its primary motive is to fix the problem beforehand. There are many books on the same; one can buy books online in India.
The concepts are for everyone right from shop floor to the top floor, kaizen for the shopfloor is even available.  These concepts help us better understand few concepts which bring efficiency to the organization, AIAG manuals are also available in the market.
Following are the eight pillars of TPM
  • Autonomous maintenance – operators also monitor the condition of their own equipment, and help us to focus on work.
  • Process and Machine Improvement — Team leaders collect in order from worker and work areas, and then prioritize precautionary safeguarding and advance
  • Preventive Maintenance — Operators and team leaders share precautionary maintenance everyday jobs and timetable.
  • Early Management of New Equipment — Team leaders foresee and map for parts of utensils life sequence and details to mangers based on safeguarding reports.
  • Process Quality Management — collective accountability for process and maintenance encourages superiority in enhancement thoughts from all district of work.
  • Administrative Work — manager prioritize data from the preceding pillars and share result with team finest and job areas.

  •  Safety and Sustained Success — competence broad safety is prioritized, which positively force continuous victory of the TPM program.
These are the 8 pillars of the total production management, every pillar/ principle stands its own importance, without one pillar also TPM is incomplete. It in all brings efficiency to the production process of the organization and helps in the reducing the cost and bringing efficiency to the organization and avoid any failure as it works on prevention better than cure. TPM is one of the most useful technique that every organization should indulge in and built in their account.
