I - Cost of Sales: Specific points

3. WCM procedure to calculate OEE

OEE = Overall Equipment Effectiveness ... see more on Internet

WCM = World Class Manufacturing ... see more on Internet 

The objective of OEE is to measure technical performance and the level of utilisation of production capacity and as a result measure the efficiency with which an asset is used to create value. This indicator makes it possible to examine all causes of production losses, whatever their source.

The OEE is the ratio of good production (products of the specified quality) to the maximum production that could have been achieved during the same period.

(star) The inter-campaign transition time is included in the cycle time and is therefore not included as an OEE loss. If this inter-campaign time is longer than expected, the difference should be posted to the process / operations category.

(star)(star) Includes loss of speed due to the activity of the catalysts, problems, obsolescence for the semi-continuous production.

(star)(star)(star) Seconds with an identified market are not considered to be production losses. If rework is necessary, then it is an OEE quality loss.

This is equivalent to:

See graph in HERE.

Net OEE is OEE excluding cause 1 (lack of sales / supplies, ...)

OEE can be broken down into three factors:

OEE = AVAILABILITY x PERFORMANCE x QUALITY x 100%

where:

The OEE is calculated monthly per item of equipment.
