Determining causes of production losses using the OEE measuring method.
These causes are to be classified in order to determine the causes which occur frequently and/or lead to significant impact on the production results.
This information assists in prioritizing maintenance activities in such a way that these aid in obtaining the best possible production results

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a
measuring tool to visualize and identify production
losses, which can be eliminated by improvement
strategies like TPM (Total Productive Maintenance),
Lean Manufacturing, WCOM, or Six Sigma.
By determining OEE the production team can prove
how successful the efforts are to improve
production.
For OEE-measurement losses are determined for
each specific process.
Specific losses are related to the Six Big Losses
according to the ‘TPM improvement-strategy’.
On top of the Six Big Losses, loading losses are taken
into account.
Including the loading losses, OEE can be called
TEEP instead (Total Effective Equipment
Performance)

PI-AF Analytics are used to automatically detect downtime and speed loss events.
The MAGION Application Framework is used to develop a web application which allows operations and maintenance to manually classify the events and visualize the results.
With the event results and classification the OEE is calculated and reported.

Clear insight of the main causes of production losses per asset or asset group.
Overview of causes which need close attention and/or performance improvement to increase
production results.
Web based reports of OEE results per day, week, month and shift providing the asset manager
detailed insight into the performance.
