Abstract

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is widely used in the industry to measure the current performance of the machine and indicate the potential area of improvement. However, OEE has the limitation in the visualization of the wastes. Although six big losses were proposed, OEE still failed to show the area of the improvement effectively. Therefore, a modification to the OEE calculation is required. In this study, Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST) is integrated to the OEE calculation to develop a new modified OEE. This modified OEE calculation is introduced with two new factors, usability and human factor that distinguish setup losses into the frequency of the setup process and excessive work performed by workers. By using the modified OEE, the wastes are categorized in a better picture and visualization is shown. This modified OEE able to improve the visualization is shown. This modified OEE able to improve the visualization and assist company to identify and monitor the area of improvement.
