Overall Equipment Effectiveness Overall Equipment Effectiveness OEE is a “best practices” metric that identifies the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive. An OEE score of 100% represents perfect production: manufacturing only good parts, as fast as possible, with no downtime. OEE is useful as both a benchmark and a baseline: - As a benchmark it can be used to compare the performance of a given production asset to industry standards, to similar in-house assets, or to results for different shifts working on the same asset; - As a baseline it can be used to track progress over time in eliminating waste from a given production asset (leanproduction.com, 2020). OEE is a percentage metric (%) and is calculated by the simple multiplication of three factors: Availability X Performance X Quality = OEE Below we describe and detail every single factor that influences this important production indicator.

"Digitisation offers unprecedented opportunities for improvement. While until a few years ago, computerization of production could be considered an investment for complex production units, today it may be the only way to remain competitive in the market. I want to share my research and my direct experience on process machinery of how Industry 4.0 and Digitization are transforming the way to organize the production and maintenance to achieve maximum performance."
