CALCULATION OF THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFETIVENESS (OEE) INDEX ON THE PRODUCTION OF A TEXTILE SECTOR MACHINE

Abstract

This article presents the implementation of the machine stops control tool and later the calculation of the OEE Indicator - Overall Equipment Effetiveness, also the elaboration of the A3 report, applied to a machine in the production sector of agricultural shading fabrics of a textile company, located in industrial district III in the city of Itápolis-SP. In the competitive market that we live in, it is very important to fully understand the company's productive capacity. With the implementation of the OEE Indicator - Overall Equipment Effetiveness, we can discover the “hidden factory”, with this we can increase productivity and decrease losses in the production process, thus making the company more competitive in the market. The Availability, Performance and Quality indices are demonstrated, making a comparison between the OEE found and the OEE of a World Class Manufacturing Company. It was developed together with the OEE research group set up by the company, the data collection on the shop floor and analysis according to the OEE parameters.
