How to improve OEE & ( Increase your profits )
OEE, or Overall Equipment Effectiveness, is a universally used metric of production capacity utilization. You need to improve OEE constantly because this is the impact of a low OEE on production and profitability: You are producing below your potential capacity. Running costs are high. CapEx (capital expenditure) on new machines is high. You have too many machines, […]
