Evaluating the Performance of a Production Line by the Overall Equipment Effectiveness: An Approach Based on Best Maintenance Practices

Abstract:

The work presented in this paper constitutes a contribution to improve and evaluate the performance of a production line, by using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) indicator. In this paper, we propose and implement an OEE improvement approach based on Best Maintenance Practices (BMPs) and apply them to a case study of an automotive wiring mechanical machine. To do this, we conducted an internal benchmarking study to select BMPs and we applied them to improve the availability of the machine and the total performance of the OEE. By applying these Best Maintenance Practices (BMPs) to this machine, we were able to improve its availability from 50 % as average in 2012 to 80 % in 2015. In addition, the OEE was improved from 39% as average in 2012 to 71% in 2015.
