The Usage of Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Measurement to Improve Efficiency and Increase Productivity of Process for Packaging Cigarettes

摘要

The purpose of this research is to improve efficiency and productivity of production process of cigarettes of factory 5 by select the packing process cigarette 2 to study, and use the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in measurement to improve. The results of the study showed the main cause of Overall Equipment Effectiveness and productivity was declined including organizing and labor, machinery, raw materials. The proposed guidelines of improvement are as follows. (1) Organizing and Labor, including the Job duties and responsibilities must be clearly identified. Staff training to improve their knowledge and expertise must be provided. (2) Machinery, including implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (3) Raw materials, including discovering the appropriate conditions of cigarette packing method by the experiment of central composite design. After the application of the mentioned method, showed the Loading Efficiency Index value was higher to 92.59%, the Machine Efficiency Index value was up to 84.17% and the Quality Rate Index value was increased to 98.88% as a result, the Overall Equipment Effectiveness increased from 51.05% to 77.07%, production efficiency was increased from 52.27% to 79.66% and productivity was increased from 9,899 packs per hour to 15,058 packs per hour or was increased to 52.12%.
