A partnership for machine safety and efficiency

摘要

No matter what type of process or manufacturing operation you are involved in, and regardless of company size, you are likely to be under constant pressure to improve performance and quality and increase equipment availability. 'Overall Equipment Effectiveness' (OEE) is the industry-standard measure of production machine efficiency, and the ideal mechanism to drive efficiency improvements. The background to the idea and philosophy is clear: machines are expensive to procure and run, the workforce operating the machinery is also costly and therefore management needs to make sure that machines and workforce are operating to maximum efficiency and therefore maximum productiveness and profitability.
