OEE, which stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness, is a key performance indicator used to measure and improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes. In Swedish, the term TAK is used, which stands for Availability, Plant Utilization and Quality. OEE takes into account different types of production losses and divides them into three categories:
- Availability: Measures losses that occur due to downtime.
- Performance (Plant Utilization): Measures losses due to machines or processes running slower than the maximum speed.
- Quality: Measures losses of products that do not meet quality standards.
By combining these three factors, OEE provides an overall picture of how efficiently a manufacturing process is working. A high OEE value indicates an efficient and optimized production with minimal losses.
