The Overall Equipment Effectiveness process is used to support manufacturing enterprises with highly functional and easy-to-use features in the areas of production reporting and production follow-up, which analyses major losses in equipment performance and reliability. Such analysis ultimately lead to minimizing disruptions and production stops, and inevitably to increased profits.
This process is divided into the following sub processes:
As a whole, the Overall Equipment Effectiveness process contains the following steps:
The IFS Overall Equipment Effectiveness solution is not intended to make comparisons from machine-to-machine, plant-to-plant, or company-to-company. Instead, it should be used as a measure of the complete equipment performance – the degree to which the production unit is doing what it’s supposed to.
