What is the True Downtime Cost? (page 8)
MIMOSA is more than an organization developing open exchange conventions. It is the enabling factor permitting integrated maintenance management, a connection to enterprise resource programs, and practical profitability-related operations and maintenance. Require your software vendors and program administrators to use TDC guidelines, and MIMOSA standards. This will reduce implementation cost, enhance benchmarking tools, and insure your success.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness

The overall performance of a single piece of equipment, or even an entire factory, will always be governed by the cumulative impact of the three OEE factors: Availability , Performance Rate, and Quality Reject Rate. When I was a speaker at an AFE convention in Las Vegas, to my amazement the group did not know what OEE was. I was in a major online chat session the other day where the guest speaker was Robert Hansen, the author of the book “Overall Equipment Effectiveness – A powerful Production / Maintenance Tool for Increased Profits”. What was the question being asked of him? “What is OEE?”

 Overall Equipment Efficiency

Availability X Performance X Quality= OEE

Availability - Measures the percent of time that the equipment can be used (usually total hours of 24-7-365 for equipment utilization, or scheduled production time to result in a reliability only measurement), divided by the equipment uptime (actual production).

Performance - The percentage of available time that the equipment is producing product at its theoretical speed for individual products. It measures speed losses. (e.g., inefficient batching, machines jams) If you can not obtain equipment specifications from OEM, use best recorded rate of pph/quality.

Quality - Determining the percent of the total output (i.e. all products including production, engineering, rework and scrap ) that is good.
