FAQ

Q1 Will OEE Toolkit improve productivity?

OEE Toolkit will help you identify the hidden losses that result in lower productivity. You can improve productivity by understanding these losses better and eliminating root causes one at a time.

Q3 How will OEE Toolkit help everyone on my team speak the same language about productivity?

Using OEE, all parameters are connected in one figure; we help you establish the categories and identifiers of losses that make sense for you. All disciplines are involved because all parameters are joined in OEE, this will create ownership for the process and improving OEE.

Q4 How much management and administrative will it require to track OEE?

The production workers and team leaders keep track of the losses as they occur during the day so the data about the losses comes from the place it happens, when it happens, rather than ending up on a desk in the office waiting to be entered (typical time to enter one shift is 3 minutes).

Q5 We need a quick yet accurate measurement system. How soon can we have OEE Toolkit working for us?

As long as management takes action and helps improve processes to reduce losses, there is great ownership.

Q12 Can I benchmark my machines with other machines in the same industry?

Our training guide "OEE Industry Standard" enables you to benchmark worldwide within your industry.

Q13 Can I still use my existing metrics for measuring productivity?

Yes. OEE Toolkit communicates with any other program so you can use output from OEE Toolkit for your management metrics.
