OEE facts

OEE is a measure of the utilization of an asset’s productive capacity in terms of three factors—availability, performance (throughput), and quality—expressed as percentages of their ideal values.

Multiplying the three percentages results in an overall performance indicator for management. But each element in the equation tells different people in the plant what they need to know about the performance of the equipment; the individual factors let people in production, quality, and maintenance focus on improving their areas of concern.
