Abstract
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is an important parameter in an industrial aspect. It measures how well equipment of lines are utilized when compared to their full probable so as to improve the performance of the industry. In this paper, primary data such as idle time, OEE of individual machines are collected from the industry for the past eight months to know their impact in performance of the industry. After that data for the current month (January 2017) is recorded and OEE is calculated. Then Pareto charts are used to find the most influencing machines and departments that contribute majorly to the OEE loss. Then 5 why analysis is done to find the causes for the current problems and root cause analysis done. After finding the root causes, each of the root causes is attacked to find the solutions. Then suitable solutions are suggested to the industry and with the implemented solutions improved OEE is calculated.
