LEAN OEE Tracker

Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), otherwise known as Machine Efficiency, is a Lean Manufacturing Tool. The LEAN OEE Tracker will assist in establishing baseline data and tracking your efficiency trends, as you methodically recover your financial Lost Opportunity.

OEE uses the elements of Availability, Performance and Quality to provide a balanced efficiency score.

The LEAN OEE Tracker, courtesy of Growth Improvements Pty Ltd, will allow you to track 10 machine / product combinations, calculate your OEE, compare your efficiency score against the World Class Benchmark, email (excel based) data reports for your trending and graphing analysis and also work out the annual financial Lost Opportunity of running your machinery with the specifications you enter.

The LEAN OEE Tracker could put you on the right path to recovering hundreds of thousands of dollars.
