What is meant by OEE Dashboard?
An "OEE Dashboard" is a tool for visualizing and analyzing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of a production facility or machine. OEE is a key metric in Lean Manufacturing that evaluates the efficiency and performance of the production equipment. The OEE dashboard displays various metrics and performance indicators in real-time to monitor productivity, identify bottlenecks, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
Typical functions of software in the "OEE Dashboard" area are:
-
Real-time OEE Monitoring:
- Displaying current OEE values for each machine or production line in real-time.
- Updating data at regular intervals to track the current production status.
-
Detailed OEE Analysis:
- Breakdown of OEE into its three components: Availability, Performance, and Quality.
- Displaying causes of production downtime, stoppages, and performance losses.
-
Productivity Comparison:
- Comparing OEE values across different time periods, shifts, or production lines.
- Identifying trends and patterns to evaluate productivity trends.
-
Alarms and Notifications:
- Notifying critical events such as machine downtimes, quality issues, or performance losses.
- Automated alerting for immediate response and issue resolution.
-
Graphical Visualization:
- Visualizing OEE data in graphical formats such as charts, dashboards, and heatmaps.
- Using color coding and symbols for quick identification of bottlenecks and problem areas.
